How Can Diabetes Be Diagnosed But There's No Cure For It Or Actually Treating What Causes It?
Along with diabetes, I’ve fought a neurological disease called, Dystonia. Sadly, there is no cure for this disease.

Do you know why?
Exactly!!

@A DiabetesTeam Member Hi and welcome. I would say that there are a lot of conditions that medicine can't cure and instead it tries to just make things better, but not perfect again. Treatment for diabetes can stop any more damage being done to your body and without treatment, people can worsen to loosing eyesight, limbs, etc..
You can't think of Type 2 as a "disease" because it isn't. You don't catch it from germs in the air or ingesting some foreign substance or from a blood transfusion - it's not an infection
It is a metabolic condition or disorder if you like where your level of insulin resistance can not be overcome by the amount of insulin your pancreas can produce
The two main factors that seem to contribute to insulin resistance are excess body fat, especially around your belly, and a lack of physical activity.
How do you "treat" that - force people to maintain weight and exercise "before" the resistance develops?
Since I was a kid every health organization on the planet was telling us to exercise, watch our weight and eat properly - if we had have listened and actually done it, we wouldn't have developed insulin resistance
There is no "infection" to treat, no bone to set, no "cells" to be radiated
How to you "treat" or what caused a broken arm?
The break is "diagnosed" and they try to fix it - it doesn't always go back together like it originally was
The only possible treatment was to "prevent" putting yourself in a situation where the bone got broken in the first place
Same with Type 2 - you needed to "not put yourself at increased risk" in the first place - after you are there, you can't go back
Diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, is a complex condition with multiple contributing factors. Here’s a detailed explanation based on my knowledge base:
