As yet there is nor cure for either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. May people who have type 2 diabetes may think that they have been cured by loosing weight and etting regular diet and eaxercise. This is because their blood sugar levels return to normal levels and stay there. This can contiune for years until their pancreas wears out and medication is needed to manage thier levels.
There have been cases where people with type diabetes have had s ucessful pancreas or islet cell transplant no longer have diabetes becuasue thier bodies are producing insulin again. However they have to take immunosuppressant drugs for the rest of their lives to prevent their bodies from rejecting the transplant.
