Q: Would a forced march cure type 2 diabetes?
Will exercise cure some / most / all cases of type 2 diabetes?

A: No, it will not cure diabetes. However, it may help to *treat* the hyperglycemia associated with diabetes (along with proper diet and medication). It will not cure in the sense of undoing the insulin resistance that causes Type 2 DM.

Q: Why do doctors think that finding a cure for type 2 diabetes is more important then finding a cure for type 1?
i had a doctor come in to my class today and non stop talk about how they were in pursuit of finding a cure for type 2 diabetes. Im of course glad to hear that, but what about type one. Ive had type one for about 10 years now and i havent heard about any new treatments other then stem cells, and the pump. why? type one is way worse then type 2

A: Type 2 affects a greater % of the population and is preventable. By educating people about t2 diabetes it is hoped that the rate of diagnoses and diabetes related complications will eventually go down. Type 1 on the other hand is unpreventable and affects a small amount of the population.

On the plus side, many of the advancements for t1 have occurred because of the rise in t2. Improvements in glucose monitors, insulin etc are more profitable for companies to invest in if there is a large part of the population who needs them.

Q: is it possible to cure diabetes type 2 naturally?
is it possible to cure diabetes type 2 naturally without prescribed medicine and is it possible to reverse it

A: I don’t think you will ever cure it. However you can control it. I’m a bad example but I have controlled it. Good diet and exercise. Lose some weight. Lay off the beer! That was my problem. I did very well for a few years but I got into the wrong habits again. I was diagnosed type II about five years ago. I weighed close to three hundred pounds. My blood sugar was close to three seventy-five. I was put on a strict diet and oral medication. I started walking, working out and lost weight. I kept a good check on my sugar. I did so well on my diet that when I went for my four month check up, My doctor took me off of my medication. However, I fell back into some old bad habits, Not watching what I ate or drank and put myself back into this position again. I’ll be back to where I need to be again. You’ve got to stick to it. The answer is yes. You can control it. You well never get away from it. But if you lead a healthier life style you can stay off the meds. See your Doctor. Don’t miss your quarterly visits. See a nutritionist. Stay active. Lose weight. Good Luck!

Q: what are the prospect on a cure of type 2 diabetes in the near future?
how close are we to finding a cure and how long would you estimate? if so, what types of treatments are there that might be available? does legalization of stems cell research have an effect? sorry for too many questions on a cure, but just curious on its progress. i hope it’s soon, for the sake of someone close to me.

A: What the heck is “Murse Dan” talking about? Insulin uptake and resistance occurs at the tissue level, not in the blood or the pancreas.

If this guy is in the health field, I’m scared.

Anyway, the best hope for curing T2 diabetes is prevention, both at the genetic level and the lifestyle level.

Q: Is islet cell transplant or stem cell transplant cure for type 2 diabetes?
If it is how much does it cost?Plz give as much as detail as you can , I will be most thankful.

A: Right now, neither one.

BOTH are in the experimental stage, but neither method has been PROVEN to cure diabetes in man. A great deal of research is still needed.

AND, in order for the treatment to be made available to patients, it requires approval by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). This often takes YEARS, even when the “fastr track” method is used. The FDA is VERY careful to see that a treatment doe not cure the disease but kill the patient!

in order to provide proof that the method works, the FDA requires data taken from YEARS of Clinical Studies (using human patients) and follow up. This makes sure that the treatmenmt doesn’t have problems. Like, you cure diabetes but the patients dies of cancer in 5 years.

BOTH methods must first be proven to work in humans and THEN given the clinical trials AND THEN go through the approval process.

These “cures’ — IF they work — will not be available to buy for 20-30 YEARS.

Direct answer to your question:
Neither method has been proven to cure diabetes, and they are not avaialble for human use at any cost.

Q: Researchers have fornd a cure for type 2 diabetes. But why is it being kept under wraps?
A cure has been found for type 2 diabetes and its not some man made chemical mediscine. Its as simple as eating raw foods for 30 days! I know this sound like a buncha bull considering the huge medical companys insist that there is no cure for type 2 diabetes. But of course they want you to think that, its a billion dollar company! Just go to rawfor30days.com. The proof is in the pudding. But doesn’t it make you angry that these medil companys dont publicise this information to keep their pockets fat? Think of all the people struggling and suffering with this condition.
excuse the type is meant “found a cure”
This is real people just go to the website it will blow you away!
bmac look at the facts before you judge, how could medical companies make money off of a person eating raw healthy foods for 30 days? you dont need a doctor to do that.

A: I think that we are being too harsh here. Yes, there is no miracle pill or “cure diet” for Type 2. But many medical studies have shown time and time again that in many cases, Type 2 patients can increase their insulin sensitivity and decrease dependence on meds if they make the appropriate lifestyle changes soon after they are diagnosed.

That means, biting the bullet and making the effort. A healthy diet rich in whole grains, fibre, good fats, and lean protein. Low in saturated fat, simple carbs, and overall carbs/calories.

At least 45 min-1 hr of aerobic exercise each day. That can be as simple as a walk after dinner.

Both of these things lead to weight loss the majority of the time. And that leads to a decrease in insulin resistance, the cause of Type 2 diabetes.

BUT studies have found that diet and exercise can help Type 2 diabetes, even if the person doesn’t lose weight!!

Of course, some people have a form of Type 2 that is due to genetics, such as MODY. MODY is a rare form of Type 2 that occurs in young and thin people, and it runs in families. Some need insulin, some don’t.

80% of Type 2’s are overweight, and studies have proven that the majority if Type 2 cases can be prevented or diet and exercise treated if people make the effort. This has been proven, whether people like to hear it or not. I have heard of many Type 2 patients who were threatened with insulin by their doctors, who went on to finally make the changes and lose the weight. They were able to improve their outcome.

Of course early Type 2 can go into “remission”, but it cannot be cured. If the person stops their diet and exericse program, their BG will start to rise again. It is healthy living for life.

If people are simply handed a precription from their doc, and not given information to help themselves through lifestyle changes, this is wrong. Maybe doctors feel their pateints won’t listen.

Another issue is that people have been walking around for YEARS undiagnosed, and it is too late. That is why we need to prevent Type 2 in the first place.

Q: Can I cure Type 2 Diabetes?
I just saw my doctor and she told me that I have pre-diabetes because my fasting blood sugar is a little higher than it should be. She told me if I don’t do something I will have diabetes. The problem is she didn’t really say what “something” is, except she gave me a prescription for metformin. I don’t really want to take drugs. What should I do?

A: Thanks to Marianna for pointing to my website.

Diet and exercise are crucial to reversing pre-diabetes. Cutting back on refined and processed foods… sugar and things that turn to sugar quickly, these are very important steps because when sugar hits your blood it triggers an insulin release. Almost all “pre-diabetics” have been insulin resistant for years because your cells are being slammed with insulin every time you eat. Eventually your cells resist the insulin and your blood sugar levels go ever higher.

Exercise is also an important part of the equation.

Q: If stem cell research proves positive, will it help cure type one diabetes?
Generally, when people talk about diabetes and diabetics in general, they are referring to type 2 diabetics, seeing as only 10% of the diabetic population has type one.

They say that stems cells may be able to cure diabetes.

Are they talking about just type two, or type one, also?

A: The theory is that it will cure both along with a lot of other genetic diseases.

I am a 42 year type I diabetic.

Q: how can stem cells help cure diabetes type 2?
and what is your opinion on finding a cure in the near future?

A: The direct implantation of stem cells into the pancreas of type 2 diabetic individuals has been found to enhance the production of endogenous insulin. In addition, it has been associated with an increase in the C Peptide levels, and a subsequent decrease in blood sugar levels.

If approved, this autologus stem cell transplantation could save a majority of the diabetics from receiving insulin or drugs to stimulate the production of insulin. It is hypothesized that the transplanted stem cells regenerate the damaged Beta cells in

individuals, leading to production of insulin.

The novel approach has been conducted on nearly 16 patients, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The main advantage of the procedure is that it is a relatively safe and effective method, devoid of complications. The results of the study can be found in the Journal of the American Society of Cell Biology.

The patient’s skin is cleaned with disinfectant solution and a small incision is made in the skin (over the inguinal region) following administration of local anesthesia. A very minute puncture is then made in the femoral artery. The extracted stem cells are then introduced directly into the pancreas through a synthetic tube (catheter).

With our improved understanding of stem cell biology and active research in stem cell transplantation, it would not be long before this new treatment can be instituted for cure of type to diabetes that affects more than 92% of patients, worldwide.

i hope this helps if you want to find out more details and everything go to google and type in diabetes type 2 stem cell research
and you will comne up with so many sites!

Q: Does losing weight cure type 2 diabetes?

A: Blow !
Yes it does. Being overweight or obese (especially when the fat is in the abdomen) increases the body’s insulin needs, and losing this extra weight can significantly improve diabetes control. Often the weight loss can eliminate the need for medications altogether. You do not have to lose a huge amount of weight—a 5 percent loss in body weight is sufficient

Q: does diabetes type 2 have a cure?
ok so i wanna know if it diabetes type 2 have a cure if it does whats the name?
oh i also want to know if theres a cure for diabetes type 1 & if there is then what the cure?
thanks

A: There’s no cure for type 1.

For type 2, significant weight loss (for example, after gastric bypass), can enable DM2 patients to get rid of their meds.

Q: Can a person be fully cured of type 2 diabetes?
If a person follows the doctor’s orders, can he be fully cured of type 2 diabetes. In other words, will his pancreas eventually start functioning like it used to? By the way, what makes the pancreas stop functioning?

Also, are there any meds for diabetes that don’t involve needles?

A: Many newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics consider them selfs cured. If you mean can they ever eat sugar like when they were a kid, then no. If you mean living the rest of their lives without drugs or complications, then yes. The pancreas becomes inflamed due to over producing insulin in an attempt to keep up with your ever increasing insulin resistance. Every carbohydrate you consume starting even before birth, moves you toward insulin resistance. Once the resistance becomes so great that the pancreas can not keep up, you are considered diabetic. If you avoid carbohydrates you accomplish two things. First, you give your pancreas a rest, and second, you give your resistant cells a rest. When you give the cells a break from insulin, they actually become sensitive again. After many years of extra insulin, either from drug induced insulin production, or actual insulin injections, your pancreas becomes permanently burned out. By definition, you are now insulin dependent or a type 1 diabetic. Keep in mind that the problem is not too much glucose, but too much insulin. Everyone should have their fasting insulin levels tested. This will detect insulin resistance, years before your blood levels of glucose begin to go up.

Q: Is there a cure for type 2 diabetes?

A: No a cure is not available. Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder and there are no know cures for Autoimmune disorders as of yet.

Q: what is the progress for a cure or treatment for type 2 diabetes?
how close are we to an all-out cure?

A: A ketogenic diet will help to control NIDDM if you stick to it. It could “cure” almost all type 2 cases. Type 1 is a different story.

Q: cure newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes?
Hi
can exercise and weight loss ,cure newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes?

i am 30 pounds over the normal range…229 Ib, 6.1 feet,
44 years….
dont want to use medications.

help please

A: Yes, yes, yes. It can be controled but not cured. If you start a low Glycemic Diet and exercise you may stave off meds for many years.
http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm
This table includes the glycemic index and glycemic load of more than 2,480 individual food items. Not all of them, however, are available in the United States. They represent a true international effort of testing around the world.

The glycemic index (GI) is a numerical system of measuring how much of a rise in circulating blood sugar a carbohydrate triggers–the higher the number, the greater the blood sugar response. So a low GI food will cause a small rise, while a high GI food will trigger a dramatic spike. A list of carbohydrates with their glycemic values is shown below. A GI is 70 or more is high, a GI of 56 to 69 inclusive is medium, and a GI of 55 or less is low.

The glycemic load (GL) is a relatively new way to assess the impact of carbohydrate consumption that takes the glycemic index into account, but gives a fuller picture than does glycemic index alone. A GI value tells you only how rapidly a particular carbohydrate turns into sugar. It doesn’t tell you how much of that carbohydrate is in a serving of a particular food. You need to know both things to understand a food’s effect on blood sugar. That is where glycemic load comes in. The carbohydrate in watermelon, for example, has a high GI. But there isn’t a lot of it, so watermelon’s glycemic load is relatively low. A GL of 20 or more is high, a GL of 11 to 19 inclusive is medium, and a GL of 10 or less is low.

Foods that have a low GL almost always have a low GI. Foods with an intermediate or high GL range from very low to very high GI.

Both GI and GL are listed here. The GI is of foods based on the glucose index–where glucose is set to equal 100. The other is the glycemic load, which is the glycemic index divided by 100 multiplied by its available carbohydrate content (i.e. carbohydrates minus fiber) in grams. (The “Serve size (g)” column is the serving size in grams for calculating the glycemic load; for simplicity of presentation I have left out an intermediate column that shows the available carbohydrates in the stated serving sizes.) Take, watermelon as an example of calculating glycemic load. Its glycemic index is pretty high, about 72. According to the calculations by the people at the University of Sydney’s Human Nutrition Unit, in a serving of 120 grams it has 6 grams of available carbohydrate per serving, so its glycemic load is pretty low, 72/100*6=4.32, rounded to 4.

For exercise , Nordic walking will do the trick . I do it everyday . Description
Nordic walking can be done year round in any climate and anywhere a person of any age or ability might otherwise walk without poles. It combines simplicity and accessibility of walking with simultaneous core and upper body conditioning similar to Nordic skiing. The result is a full-body walking workout that can burn significantly more calories without a change in perceived exertion or having to walk faster, due to the incorporation of many large core, and other upper-body muscles which comprise more than 90% of the body’s total muscle mass and do work against resistance with each stride. ‘Normal walking’ utilizes less than 70% of muscle mass with full impact on the joints of the legs and feet.

Nordic Ski Walking produces up to a 46% increase in energy consumption compared to walking without poles.[1]

Benefits
Compared to regular walking, Nordic walking involves applying force to the poles with each stride. Nordic walkers use more of their entire body (with greater intensity) and receive fitness building stimulation not as present in normal walking for the chest, lats, triceps, biceps, shoulder, abdominals, spinal and other core muscles. This extra muscle involvement leads to enhancements over ordinary walking at equal paces such as:

increased overall strength and endurance in the core muscles and the entire upper body
significant increases in heart rate at a given pace
greater ease in climbing hills
burning more calories than in plain walking
improved balance and stability with use of the poles
significant un-weighting of hip, knee and ankle joints
effective weight bearing exercise – creates positive total body bone density-preserving stress
I use plain old wooden sticks, works well>
Kewl!
Do this and you will be amazed at the results. I have no more room to go on But GOOD LUCK
