Homeopathy has a different definition of cure than allopathy. I think in general if the person is symptom free for five years, it is considered a cure in allopathy. For homeopathy, it is that the propensity toward the disease is eradicated. Given these definitions, I seriously doubt that diabetes, either type I or type II can be cured homeopathically. I have seen cases of Type II cured with homeopathy if we are willing to use the allopathic definition, but with long term patients, 10-15 years later, as they age, it again sneaks up on them. I have never seen or heard of a type I being cured with homeopathy by any definition. What I have seen with both types is the complications improved and the quality of life improved, particularly with type II. Instead of getting complications at 10 years, they don't appear for 30 years. The symptoms of neuropathy reverse, the circulation improves, etc.

Note: I am not refering above to the acute presentation. However, if that occurs, it is an indication that the person is more prone to developing type II diabetes in later life. This would be an indication to me to start a homeopathic constitutional remedy in the hopes of warding off or postponing the day when the person developes full blown diabetes.
