    My personal experience suggests that it is. Think about it: How it would be if you could get those extra sugars to the skin and removed them by some means? Then there would be no need to drugs, diets, amputations, dialysis, etc.

    No. It's a disease of either the island cells of the pancreas or a diminished receptor absorption towards insulin. Look up the pathology of Diabetes. It's in most cases it's a solely life style disease. Except for Type I patients nearly every other person with diabetes (type II) could have avoided it if they would have eaten less and exercised more.

    To explain better. There wouldn't be a way to get the sugars into the skin, they would be toxic to skin cells, just look at a diabetic foot and what sugar does to the healing process. Dialysis is required for kidney patients, kidney patients tend to have high sugar levels because the didn't take care of themselves. Again it becomes about lifestyle. Amputations are usually required because the Diabetes patient didn't take proper care of his feet or sugar and insulin levels. the answer to Diabetes is a wider awareness campaign, proper schooling for people who are already diabetic and more self control.
