IS IT POSSIBLE TO RID YOURSELF FROM TYPE 2 DIABETES THROUGH DIET EXERCISE AND WEIGHT LOSS????
Not "get rid of" per se, but you have a very good chance of being able to have normal (non-diabetic) blood sugars, possibly without medication, if you catch it early on and make the effort.
Follow a healthy diet and watch portions, lose any excess weight, and exercise at least 45 min. 5x per week.
Some people find supplements such as chromium and cinnamon can also help.
Contrary to popular belief, Type 2 diabetes does NOT have to be a progressive disease if the proper lifestyle changes are made early on. Unfortunately, some doctors would rather hand out pills than give healthy living advice.

You can obviously help it from progressing faster, by taking care of your self and your eating habits, but, normally, the older you get the disease, will eventually, shut down the ability of your kidneys to process sugars, and dialysis, will be the only way to keep functioning.

Yes, it is possible to actually cure diabetes just be loosing weight, and conversely, it is possible to get diabetes just by gaining weight. To say that it’s cured though is a bit of a misnomer, if you regain the weight that was lost the diabetes will return and it may re-emerge in later life, but you can definately improve your blood glucose, even, in some people, to the point where no treatment is necessary, by loosing weight.
