type 2 much more so than type 1. you can even cease it and controll it completely with proper diet and exercise depending on the severity.

This is only true for type II.
Type I, simplified, means that your Pancreas does not work properly. This is why Type I sufferers have to inject insulin. No amount of diet control (short of not eating at all) will fix it. A healthy diet still plays a very important roll for a Type I, otherwise you risk damage to other organs. (Kidneys, Gall Bladder, etc...)

I became diabetic because of my liver transplant...it's one of the possible side effects, the put me on insulin therapy when I had my quadruple bypass.
