Curable in all cases or just early after a type II diagnosis? I think once you lose it that's it.

The pancreas insulin output is low that's type II diabetes. From my understanding the pancreas, an organ, is damaged and can't regenerate like all organs except the liver (sort of). Like a rotten tooth can't regrow an organ once damaged there's no repair. Pancreatitis is what I'd see as a reversible situation since it's inflammation of the pancreas but not damaged yet.
