Unfortunately, there is no cure for diabetes. You can treat it and modify your life style a little but no cure. There is oral medication you can take along with diet and exercise to keep your blood sugar in a normal range. More severe cases require insulin injections once or more daily, along with diet and exercise. I have had type 2 diabetes for around years. At some point, I will have to start taking injections. But for now, I eat low fat, sugar free foods as often as I can. Reduce my caloric intake to around 2000 calories a day and just watch my intake of carbohydrates. I try to exercise everyday. Diabetes can and will cause you problems with your heart. Two years ago I had a stent put in my heart and now I am taking not only blood pressure meds, but blood thinners as well. The exercise help strengthen your heart and keep your blood sugar normal.
check your blood sugar every day, take your meds as needed and watch your diet. My life has changed a little, but aside from what I eat, and my exercise, nothing is different.
