Do you have Type 1 or Type 2? I believe Type 1 is much more challenging but rarer, with it's incidence comprising only 5% of diabetes sufferers. I'm not personally a sufferer but give my moral support to all those that are in the form of the ol' thumbs up symbol.

Actually it's the opposite.
Type 1 is the type of diabetes when you're first introduced to it. Type 2 is the more serious one.

Nah, Type 1 is when the beta cells of the pancreas have been destroyed by the body's immune system and the pancreas no longer produces insulin. The condition requires sufferers to inject insulin with every meal in an attempt to control the concentration of glucose in the blood. Insulin acts like a key that unlocks the body tissues and allows them to admit the blood glucose. Too little insulin and BC levels run too high, potentially damaging small blood vessels and organs such as the eyes, the kidneys and the heart. Too much insulin and a state of hypoglycaemia can develop, where the sufferer has too little BC in the blood to feed the brain, risking the possibility of coma. Type 2 diabetes is far more common and is often the result of overweight. The body becomes insulin resistant because of the mammoth task it must cope with because of the large food intake. Sometimes Type 2 can be cured or controlled by losing weight and regulating the diet, whereas Type 1 is incurable and requires constant lifelong treatment to control blood sugar level by administering insulin injections. It's a complex and challenging condition.

my sister was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes over 10 years ago. it's been a struggle adapting/adjusting. but she continues to run marathons, half ironmans, and is now a member of a cycling team. she just did a 70 mile bike ride today like it was no big deal. life is what you make of it.

Cured no. Controlled yes. Considering I was diagnosed Type II right before christmas. I did a fair amount of reading into the subject. My lifestyle wasnt sedientary. Active at work and home. And considering a good portion of my education was in nutrition, I knew what I was putting into my body. I was unfortunate in the luck of the draw. No one in my family or the previous 4 generations had diabetes yet I ended up with it. The truth is that yes some people are far more susceptible to it. But it can happen at random as a result of other issues too. But the control is possible. Diet, exercise, and monitoring the glucose levels. Sure you can stay off the meds. But that isn't a straight cure. It can recur.
