Not exactly: While physical activity can decrease the muscles' need for Insulin and keep you from eating, they do not cure diabetes. Your Insulin need and periperial resistance drop (w/type-ii) with more physical activity in particular. Type-1's must have exogenous insulin, but this amount can also be reduced some by physical activity.

No Cure With Exercis: It depends what stage of Diabetes are you .In early stages Pre Diabtese and early diagnosed diabetes Diet And Exercise play a very important role.But it in reality can not cure Diabetease as there really is no cure for Diabetese.It can be control with diet,exercise and medications
Diet and Exercise help control Diabetes but not cure it

I have diabetes, am I more susceptible to ecthyma gangrenosum?

Dr. Emily Luanswered

To a certain extent: Ecthyma gangrenosum is a skin lesion that manifests during a severe pseudomonas infection that has spread to the bloodstream. Pseudomonas infections of this kind rarely happen in patients that are not severely immunocompromised, but can occur if a wound gets infected. Patients with diabetes do tend to get wound infections more readily, esp if they do not follow proper prevention and wound care.

I am a type II diabetic I have been off medication for almost 3 years and I will like to know does diabetes ever go away?

Dr. Ish Rawalanswered

No: Diabetes is coming from either lack of Insulin production or body cells being resistant to insulin. In either case medicine can help to fix the deficit. But, diabetes doesn't go away. Some people are able to control it probably like you with diet and exercise though.
