What happens if a diabetic patient stopped eating sugar completely?

Is it possible to cure diabetes if I stop eating sugar? I am a 39 years old male type-2 diabetic patient. Can anyone help me with this? If this is not possible then how can I get healthy again?

@vijay-kumar Hello, it is not possible to completely avoid sugar. All foods get converted into sugar in the body. Carbs get first, proteins and fats next. So, since some food needs to be eaten for survival, the patient needs to take medicines too in addition to diet control. Some people could reverse their diabetes by diet control (using mostly raw foods or boiled vegetables and leafy foods). Excess sugar intake leads to a buildup of fatty deposits around the liver, which contributes over time to insulin resistance by affecting the functioning of the pancreas. Sugar increases our risk of becoming diabetic because high blood sugar levels are a large part of the diabetes equation. Eating too much sugar spikes blood sugar levels. Over time, high blood sugar levels can cause insulin resistance, which wreaks havoc on your liver, your pancreas, and other organs
