What is the cure for diabetes?

Yesterday I was bombarded with a billboard about the Tour De Cure this weekend in Las Vegas benefiting the American Diabetes Association.

I am all about finding cures and overcoming physical ailments. And I am not a medical a doctor but this is from Web MD about diabetes. The most common form type 2 is related to being overweight which accounts for 80% of those with type 2 diabetes.

With that said does it not seem ironic that cyclist will ride their bike and raise money for diabetes which is commonly linked with obesity.

Call me crazy, but it sounds like the cure may be getting the people with diabetes (at least type 2) moving physically and managing their food intake.

With everything in life there are circumstances that are beyond our control and I am sure some people have diabetes because of a medical condition other than obesity or their diet and therefore I am all about prevention and further medical studies to help reduce this physical ailment.

However, finding a cure for many conditions will not come in the form of a pill. It may actually come in the form of discipline and hard work, what a novel concept.
