Fitbit to help diabetics

Hello Fitbit community, I wanted to share my idea/thought with you.  I am interested in getting a Fitbit and being an adult with Type II diabetes I am learning how important exercise and diet is a necessity, but have no idea how many steps I walk in a day which is why I am getting a Fitbit!  I spend approx $130 to $170 a month on prescriptions so it's hard to obtain one at the moment.  My idea is to coordinate with doctors and clinics and provide a Fitbit to all patients to help promote a healthier lifestyle and educate us on how many steps I do in a day!  This will not only help me loose weight, but become healthier and reach my 10,000 steps a day.

Do you know anyone who has type 2 diabetes? And have they been cured?

I have type I am on pills and insulin and I went from 267 lbs to 186 lbs and I am still losing weight regularly. But still have trouble controlling it. My doctor says it is the way my body works. So it is not 100 percent curable. And I think anyone who is not only trying to help themselves but other people as well should be applauded.
