Diabetes is a cronical disease, you cannot cure it with today means. Diabetes Type I needs Insulin to be treated, there is not another way. The sooner you start in insulin the better chances to enjoy quality life and avoid to certain extend future medical complications.

HI, I wish there was an easy answer for this question! Apparently we are getting closer to a cure, there have certainly been a lot of medical advances made in recent years. Diabetes can be an incredibly frustrating and debilitating disease to live with. I know exactly how you feel as my 6 year old daughter has it. Not a single day goes by that I don't wish it was me and not her that had to live with this thing. Has your boyfriend considered an insulin pump?? They are fantastic for allowing a lot more freedom and flexibility when living with type 1 diabetes. He is very lucky to have someone who cares so much about him! Best wishes.

Let me begin by saying that I commend you on your efforts to continue your education and not let diabetes stop you. I am 24 years old and finishing up my MA in English, so you are not alone. I completely relate to your situation, although I am not currently insulin-dependant. \n\nThere are new treatments out there. The new isulin inhaler should be on the market in just a matter of months .. sometime this summer and that would be one option. An insulin pump would also be a great option for you if you are up to 3 injections daily. This way, your sticks are greatly reduced. \n\nI am not sure about the pancreas transplant issue, but I have heard of islet cells being transplanted. I would recommend doing your own research on this. Consult with the ADA and see what you can find out there. I think these things are still pretty experimental for the most part. \n\nAs for other organizations that can help you with your expenses / treatment, etc., consider consulting your local health department. I work for a health department diabetes program and I am sure there is a similar program in your area. You can probably access free diabetes education resources and even get some help with meds. \n\nGood luck and best wishes.. I hope everything works out for you in your education and otherwise.

FIRST OF ALL DIABETIC IS NOT CURABLE BUT IT IS CONTROLLABLE.  FIRST OF ALL THERE IS MEDICINE IN AYURVEDA FOR THE PERSON WHO IS DEPENDABLE ON INSULIN.  SOME TABLETS ARE THERE TO LOW DOWN THE BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL.  BUT THESE ARE NOT MUCH SUCCESSFUL.  IT IS BETTER YOU DO REGULAR EXERCISES AND DOSE FIXED BY THE DOCTOR.

There are many supplements that will help your diabetes. However giving what they are is not allowed here because of solicitation rules in place. One for example is Grape seed extract for circulation, there is one patented version I prefer that is six times more potent but any will help some.

If you are in the US talk to your doc or call Joslin Clinic in Boston, MA. They can connect you with Joslin's Angel Network. I read about it in a Diabetes Digest. It said they help uninsured people with getting supplies. Good luck!

Since my mother is Diabetic this isn't very difficult.  3.  Although 1 is a correct answer it is misleading.  The idea is to lower the insulin but to do that you have to give the person sugar so that the insulin has something to latch onto.

There is no "cure" for diabetes yet; however, there has been promising research on a cure for Type 1 diabetes.\n\nThe treatment of diabetes is highly individualized, depending on the type of diabetes, whether the patient has other active medical problems or  complications of diabetes, and the age and general health at time of diagnosis. A health care provider will set goals for lifestyle changes, blood sugar control, and treatment.

diabetes can be cured through pancreatic islet transplant or whole pancreas transplant. Diabetis is a condition where the body's alpha pancreatic islet cells fail to produce insulin or produce insulin that is inable to allow glucose to enter the cells and be metabolized. What i just described is Insulin Dependent Diabetis Mellitus or Type I diabetes Type II or Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus is caused by the body producing inadequate amounts of insulin or the body lack of sensitivity to insulin and can be treated with diet and exercise or injections of insulin or with oral medication.

My father used insulin from pork (we are Jewish) that was all that was available for him at the time.  He was okay with it.  I am a type 1 diabetic and I would if I had to, but my current insulin's do not come from pork.  There are 3 different types of Jews, reform (what I am) Conservative, and Orthodox.  The Orthodox are the extreme ones and would more then likely compromise their health before taking any medications with pork product.

I'm not a diabetic but I am the parent of a type 1 diabetic.\n\nHere are some things that have worked for us. The most important thing you can do is to take extra blood sugar tests for about one week. Test before and 1 to 2 hours after every meal. This gives you the best basis for adjusting your insulin regimine for better overall results.\n\nSo if your blood sugars are consistently high before meals (or even just one particular meal), that indicates that you need to increase your basal rate. Don't make dramatic increases, just increase a little at a time.\n\nIf your after meal tests are too high, that means your insulin to carb ratio is too low. (Some pumps allow you to program your ratio in, or you can calculate it in your head.)\n\nThose are the most common scenarios if you are experiencing high A1C readings. However, you may find instead that you are dropping low either before or after meals and then you are having to compensate by eating sugars to bring your blood sugar back up. It is common in such cases to over compensate and send yourself too high. So if you are finding that at certain times of the day you are dropping low, then adjust either your basal or your insulin to carb ration down. By avoiding the lows, hopefully you will avoid going too high afterward.\n\nHopefully that helps. I would also agree with the other answer that you should pursue finding a better doctor.

From personal experience, as long as you manage your diabetes, NO!

Diabetes is a condition in which your glucose is too high.  As of this date, there is no cure- only treatment.  You can read more about diabetes and the treatments available here\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/faq/basics.htm

Herbal treatment of Diabetes is a myth. Because diabetes is incurable ,everyday someone comes with a new herb.Please ignore it.\nSyzyzium zambolanum is the seed whose powder is added to some tea. and it does not work.
