Diabetes 1 your body produces no insulin and you must take insulin to keep your blood sugar under control (diet, excercise and oral hypoglycemics will sometimes be given to help control sugars). Diabetes 2 your body does not produce enough insulin so treatment is aimed at helping your body control sugar ... start by controlling diet, then add oral hypoglycemics (metformin, glyburide, avandia etc...) and insulin only if necessary. HbAic test to see wether treatment is helping with longterm sugar control. Hope this helps, C

So far there has not yet found a cure to cure diabetes, but proper medication, good diet and some changes in lifestyle can help people with diabetes to lead a virtually normal life while avoiding long-term problems and complications often associated with the disease.
