There is no cure for diabetes and the treatment for diabetes is not medicine - its insulin. Insulin is not bad for health, but the lack of insulin is fatal. Diabetics don't produce enough insulin, so additional insulin is given. Some people with Type II diabetes can get their blood glucose levels within a safe range by changing their diet and exercising, but not everyone is able to do this.

I am assuming that she has Type II diabetes and not Type I. Type 1 always requires insulin to treat and there is no cure except the possible successful pancreas transplant. Type II is usually characterized by obesity. Treatment includes diet, excercise, pills and in some cases, insulin. I have heard that for some people the diabetes "goes away" if they lost weight. There is a recent study where if a diabetic undergoes gastric bypass surgery that the diabetes disappears before the ultimate weight loss. It is a very new study and here is a link to the article on Yahoo....... http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?cl=7492540 No one likes to medicate themselves, but diabetes can be controlled with medication so a person can lead a long and healthy life. Diabetes has many complications, some of which can be life threatening. So if given a choice, I'd rather take the medication than face possible death.

YOUR MOM NEEDS MEDS. She will be in very, very, ill health with out it. There is no cure for either type for diabetes except a pancreas transplant. Please do not listen to what Jennifer T said. For one thing, type 2 does NOT go away just because the person loses weight. There are more type 2 diabetics that are at a healthy weight than over weight. Diet and exercise can help control both types of diabetes, but can by no means cure it. If the doctor says your mom needs meds, she should have them. Not taking them can lead to kidney disease, heart disease, blindness, and many other diseases. Not having them is a million times worse than taking them.

There is no CURE for Diabetes. Medicine helps alleviate the symptoms that occur without it and I wouldn't suggest that she not take the medicine. The risks and deterioration that occur more rapidly by not taking the meds and controlling diabetes are FAR FAR worse than the meds.

Uh, no, the medicine will be good for her health, that is the point of medicine.....if she doesn't take it properly or at all, she will not be around much longer. You NEED to have her take her medicine! With diabetes mellitus, she can die within a month! MEDICINE IS THERE TO HELP! Please help your mom!! Good luck

The cure for diabetes mellitus is diet and exercise for the rest of her life. Regular exercise and a good diet (reduced carb and fat) can delay or eliminate the need for medication. Note that the medication in pill form are often effective with few side effects.
