No, type 1 Diabetes is not currently curable. Only type 2 can be helped (managed or sometimes cured) with exercise and a carefully controlled diet.

According to health professionals, Diabetes type 1 presently, is not curable, neither with exercising nor proper diet, medication, or any treatment. It is a condition resulted from the destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, (more precisely, in the islets of Langerhans, which are specific clusters of cells inside the pancreas). Insulin is a hormone the body needs for breaking down sugar (glucose), by initiating glucose intake. Glucose is a very important body fuel; the body breaks them down and produces energy from the process. This energy is vital for our body. Since the destroyed beta cells are no longer able to produce the necessary hormone, insulin, insulin has to be injected into the bloodstream (it cannot be taken orally, because digestion would break it down before it could enter the bloodstream). There are constant researches for a cure, or even for a better management of the condition. The latest encouraging news if the transplantation of those Islets of Langerhans into Diabetes type 1 sufferer's pancreas. If the cells are accepted and became functional, (produces insulin), then it might come the closest to be called a 'cure', as the patient will be able to produce his/her own insulin.

No, there is no cure for diabetes. Some people with type 2 (adult onset) diabetes may control it with diet, exercise, or pills, but this is not a cure.
