How The Food You Eat Help You Cure Diabetes?
Every food is a medicine. What you eat is very important from the point of view of your health. There are no cut and dry methods and medicines by which you can cure diabetes. In fact, perfect cure for diabetes is yet to be found, in any system of medicine. But, Ayurvedic medicines are far near to the point of curing diabetes. This disease can certainly be controlled by Ayurveduic medicines.
The prime concern in controlling diabetes is to see that the sugar level does not cross the recommended level. This means you need to avoid certain types of food and take regularly those food which are good for controlling diabetes.
In short, processed foods and junk food, must be totally given up. Avoid sweets, glucose, fruit sugar, cakes, ice cream, chocolates, soft drinks, cream and fried foods. White sugar and white flour also cause further damage to the health of diabetes patients. Anything that contains harmful preservatives and too much salt should be avoided. Smoking and alcohol are taboo as well. So, in conclusion, your food is your medicine.
Instead of the commercial tea, take green tea, parsley tea and blueberry leaf. Cook the kidney bean pods and drink that water—it is very good in the treatment of diabetes. Replace white sugar with palm sugar, dates and honey. Unpolished rice, sprouted grain should be taken in moderate quantity. Fats like olive. oil and peanut oil are good in diabetes. Drink abundant water, at least 8 to 10 glasses per day. If you can make the habit of it, raw vegetables need to be taken in large quantity. Cooked food raise the level of blood sugar fast. This apart, cooking destroys vitamins, enzymes and minerals in the vegetables and fruits.
The real treatment of diabetes is through the fruits that you take. Take grapes, Indian blackberry, fig, kiwi fruits and citrus fruits and pomegranate juice. Let these things be your morning breakfast. As for vegetables, onion, garlic, radish, cucumber, carrot, tomato, cabbage and cucumber are excellent in the treatment of diabetes. Moong sprouted and unripe banana cooked, are also recommended.
The next important part of the diet is to take those fruits and vegetables in which fiber content is very high. Such type of food lowers the need for insulin, the reason being it releases energy into the body cells slowly. High fiber diet means more chromium which is very helpful in the treatment of diabetes.
Some herbs and vegetables are specifically prescribed for diabetes, like Bitter Gourd and bitter melon juice.
Soak 50 gms of fenugreek seeds in a glass of water at night and drink the water early in the morning, after grinding the seeds in it. Draw a schedule, depending upon the level of your diabetes.

As far as I know there is no actual "cure" for diabetes. The best you can do to control it is to take insulin/medication regularly as prescribed and keep your blood sugar at the doctor’s recommended level. That’s all I know.

You can’t "cure" diabetes.
As far as your diet is concerned:
Do not eat foods that are high in sugar, high fructose corn syrup, etc.
No refined white flour products (white bread, cake, cookies, etc.)
Eat whole grains & foods that are low on the glycemic index, at least under 55 on the charts (links given).

First things first… What is diabetes, anyway?
Diabetes
is a disease in which the body’s pancreas stops producing enough insulin. Insulin is a protein that helps the body store glucose, or sugar. When you hear people talking about their blood sugar, they’re talking about glucose. Insulin essentially takes glucose out of the bloodstream and packages it inside muscle cells. When you don’t have enough insulin, as happens in diabetes, your body can’t package glucose into cells, leaving excess glucose in the bloodstream. This excess glucose in your blood causes all sorts of problems over time.

There is no cure for diabetes. It is a life-long disease that can be managed and controlled…but NOT cured…no matter what you hear or read.
Perhaps there will be one in time. Research continues. I don’t expect to be a cure in my lifetime and it doesn’t really matter…I’ve had it for so long that it is a lifestyle. Granted, I would much rather not have it but since I do, I’ve accepted it and I live my life as I choose to live it. Diabetes has never held me back, except in some certain circumstances (like joining the military or something).

There’s no cure, only treatment. If you have type 1, the only treatment is insulin. If you have type 2, there are many many different methods of treating the condition and what you can or can’t eat varies dramatically from person to person. Some people avoid all carbs, or strictly limit carb intake, but this is not necessary for everyone with diabetes. The only place to get proper information that applies to your situation is to consult an endocrinologist.

There is no cure for diabetes yet. The only way is to manage it well. First its the food that you take. Cut out oily and fried food. Reduce those food that are high in carbohydrates. Take more vegetables and if you need to take meat, take only white meat such as chicken breast with the skin remove and fish. Avoid all fizzy sodas as they have a high concentration of sugar. If you really need to drink it, then opt for those that are sugar-free.
For exercise, choose one that you are comfortable with and that you like doing. If you forced yourself to do an exercise that you don’t like, you will give up on it in a matter of time.
