What is the life expectancy of someone with Diabetes?

The life expectancy of someone with diabetes can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the type of diabetes, the severity of the disease, and the individual's overall health.

People with type 1 diabetes have a slightly reduced life expectancy compared to the general population, mostly due to the risk of complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and cardiovascular disease. However, with proper management and treatment, people with type 1 diabetes can live a long and healthy life.

People with type 2 diabetes have a reduced life expectancy compared to the general population due to the risk of complications such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage. However, the severity of these risks can be reduced through proper management and treatment of diabetes.

Proper management of diabetes can include regular check-ups, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and adhering to medication schedule. This can help prevent or delay the onset of diabetes-related complications and improve overall health.

It's important to note that life expectancy can vary greatly based on the individual's overall health and the presence of other medical conditions, as well as the adequacy of the diabetes management. Therefore, it's important to work closely with a healthcare team to manage diabetes and prevent or delay the onset of diabetes-related complications.
