Diabetes is supposed to be an insidious disease and there is a lot of medical research going on to find out a viable Cure for Diabetes. In fact the subject of Cure for Diabetes is itself a very debatable topic and reams and reams of newsprint and web pages after web pages, to say nothing of countless medical journals have been dedicated to the discussion of Cure for Diabetes. Now to come to the vital question – is there really any Cure for Diabetes?
The answer is a forlorn no. No one has been able to invent a permanent Cure for Diabetes that can completely cure this troublesome condition, but with diligence and a little caution, you can effectively control your diabetes. When you are able to keep your blood glucose level under control, you can lead a very healthy life in spite of suffering from diabetes.
Yes, it is true that the average life span gets reduced when you suffer from diabetes but if you can maintain your blood glucose level – 130 to 90 mg/dl when you fast and less than 180 mg/dl around 2 hours after taking your meals, you will be able to restore your normal life span.
However, to maintain and control your blood glucose level and keep it in check, you do not always require specific diet control or insulin and tablets/capsules. This phase, that occurs in type 1 diabetes is called the honeymoon phase. The honeymoon phase stretches from, say, a few days to sometimes over 6 months. You really don’t require medications to control your diabetes during this period and as a result, many patients mistakenly think it is a Cure for Diabetes or that their diabetes has been cured.
When you have diabetes, the risk of heart attack is doubled in case of men and tripled in case of women. When patients have diabetes for a long time, for decades, they become prone to silent heart attacks or painless heart attacks that might cause death. This risk gets increased in case of elderly people who suffer from diabetes. However, it is hoped that a Cure for Diabetes will soon be found.
