Hi beans3069,

Some of your conditions can be cured somewhat in that you can maintain your health and knock out the GERD to some extent. But some of them can only be controlled and monitored like Hepatitis C and Diabetes. Here are the links to the information for your specific needs.

You can read about GERD here in the overview and you can check your symptoms here in the symptoms database. Once you have seen your doctor, if he prescribes medication for GERD, you can read about them here in the drugs database. You can also research treatments available and alternatives here in the treatments database.

You can get information regarding Hepatitis C here in the Chronic Pain Health Central site.

Type 2 Diabetes can be controlled with proper medical advice, diet and exercize. Lifestyle changes are necessary but can be fun as well as good for you. You can read about type 2 Diabetes here. Some diet and Lifestyle tips are here.

There is also a partner site on Health Central dedicated to weight loss, diet and exercise. You can access that site here at www.foodfit.com.

I hope this information helps. Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
