Gestational is similar to type 2 but only occurs while a woman is pregnant. Diabetes insipidus is different it has nothing to do with blood sugar, although it may cause excessive.

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.

Relationship of fiber with diabetes type 2?
Eating a high fiber diet can prevent you from getting type II diabetes in the fact that people who usually eat a high fiber diet usually are eating a healthier diet. Being overweight is one of the main causes of type II diabetes, and eating fiber, fills you up to the point where you are not always hungry. Fiber is great for the digestive system and the health of your digestive system.
Fiber slows down the digestion of carbohydrates and that results in better glucose metabolism. Some people with type II diabetes can actually be successfully treated with just a high-fiber diet.
You should eat between 25 and 35 grams of fiber per day. Most people don't come close to eating that per day.
