Seems to me we're already finding a "cure" to diabetes, at least as a preventative step. By getting the tons of stinkin' sugars, processed junk and additives out of our diets. Couldn't changing the diets to those with diabetes help reverse it?

Dieting is the hard way to address the problem and it lacks several components to succeed. Keep in mind that there are many thin people with good diets that still have diabetes.

Exercise is important because oxygenation is detrimental to anaerobic bacterial proliferation.

I am convinced that proper diet can prevent Type II diabetes and even control (and even reverse) it for people who have already developed it. As Medicalmess points out, exercise is also key. Since walking briskly several miles every day since April, I feel completely healthy even though people all around me are getting flus and colds and such. Evidently the combination of exercise and diet has made my body much more resistant to disease. I wake up at 5AM every morning with a great deal of energy - even when it's bitterly cold like it was this morning. The cold doesn't bother me at all anymore. It's great.

I'd much rather fight diabetes with diet and exercise than to take the pills this article is talking about.
