Neither type of Diabetes is curable, as of today's released technology. People with Type II diabetes, if caught early, however can symptoms and severity of the disease reversed with proper treatment, diet, and exercise. Type II diabetes usually arises in older adults (mainly over 40) who have become obese and less active, and is caused because cell membranes in the body have become less sensitive to Insulin. Insulin which is a hormone secreted by the Beta-cells of the pancreas in response to high blood-glucose levels (such as after a meal), and is very important because it signals for glucose to be transported into the cells and for the body to store excess as glycogen. When cell loose this Insulin sensitivity, they literally starve. The cells do not get the glucose (for energy metabolism and more) into their membranes, and people therefore report sensations of intense hunger more often as well as release of glucose from their urine instead of storing it in their bodies. Numerous studies have proven that exercise enhances cell sensitivity, though, and therefore for some people, cell sensitivity may be regained with proper treatment (Insulin shots to increase the concentration to increase possibility that cell with sense the hormone) and exercise to increase the sensitivity.

Type I diabetes is the type that people are born with though, and is incurable unless a pancreas transplant is done. The Beta-cells of these people's pancreas' are not able to secrete the Insulin hormone, and therefore the body's glucose homeostasis cannot be regulated without Insulin injections.

There is actually one more type of diabetes that is curable/reversible. This is gestational diabetes, which can occur any many different types of women when they become pregnant but only happens in about 2-10% according to my Nutrition professor. It is very likely that this type of lowered-cell-sensitivity-to-insulin diabetes will be reversed after a few months from delivery.

No. Type one diabetes is an autoimmune diasease that is non preventable and non curable. It's not an infection so it cannot be 'caught'. Type two diabetes is a generic or lifestyle disease, both preventable and sometimes curable. Also not an infection or 'catchable'.

Do we have a cure for type 1 diabetes?

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. Gestational diabetes may go away when the patient is no longer pregnant (which is why it's called "gestational".) But juvenile diabetes (type 1) is not curable at this point. Controllable, yes.
