There is a lot more. As you can see there is a lot of research about diabetes and this disease is fairly known and can be cured naturally. The proper diet depends on different factors but ultimately is the best and fastest solution. The wrong diet kills you (and diabetes is a symptom of the wrong diet), a correct diet can make you healthy and diabetes-free.
A successful treatment for diabetes using just diet has been added to Howicured.org here.
