Hey, I feel for you. I have bipolar disorder (aka manic depression), and there's no cure for that disease, either. Like diabetes, it can only be treated. Unlike diabetes, people tend to think I'm "crazy" because I have bipolar disorder--but that's just because they're misinformed about my brain disorder.
I'm not trying to kill myself because I have bipolar disorder--I simply accept it as part of my reality. I take my medications and extra good care of myself, which includes eating a proper diet and getting some exercise. When I do feel too manic or too depressed, I accept it as part of the illness I have. I even now work for an organization that helps people with bipolar disorder or depression; it's very fulfilling.
Everyone has challenges they have to face. Bipolar disorder is mine. Diabetes is yours. You are not alone in your suffering. If you survive this recent dip in your health, perhaps God/the universe/whatever you believe in has a higher purpose than you think you have right now. Maybe you were put on this earth to help other people with your health issue. You'll never know if you don't take care of yourself first.
