Five Steps to Managing Diabetes

Best Cure for Diabetes

No single treatment has been found to be the most appropriate treatment of diabetes because type 1 diabetes cannot be cured and must be controlled the rest of the life, and type 2 may at times remit, but not necessarily cure it. The mode of treatment is on lifestyle changes, medication and health follow-ups.

Type 1 Diabetes

Autoimmune disorders such as type 1 diabetes cannot be cured and thus, insulin is required. Future research involves stem cell therapies, including insulin-independent in 10/12 severe cases, one year in a small trial, of zimislecil, invented by Vertex, and transplantation of lab-grown islets which have shown early glucose control in the UCSF. In mouse models, immune resets did not only cure the disease, but in humans, trial is still in its infancy and is not always available.

Type 2 Diabetes

Further management or remission through weight loss (e.g. 10-15 kg with low-calorie diets like DiRECT trial, which leads to 57-86% compliance) and exercise and medication (e.g. metformin) is targeted at type 2 diabetes. Remission achieved with the help of metabolic surgery is longer (67% long term), but may easily recur unless permanent changes are implemented. It does not have a universal remedy; go to a doctor to make arrangements.

Key Management Strategies

• Lifestyle: Diet, 150 or above minutes/week exercise, weight control.
• Drugs: Metformin, first-line, other (i.e., SGLT2 inhibitors, e.g., empagliflozin), GLP-1 agonists.
• Follow up: Screening of complications and HbA1c.
  Medical guidance is always necessary as there is a chance that self-treatment can be dangerous.
