I lost my older sister at 28 to congestive heart failure from diabetic complications. I know that most diabetics have a shorter life expectancy but need real results from a survey for the research paper.
I'm doing a research paper on Diabetes and life expectancy. At what age did you lose someone to diabetes?
i work in a nursing home and a lot of the people there is diabetic and they are from 70 to 90 yrs young so you can live along time with it just take care of yourself by keeping a close eye on it watch what you eat low sugar is as bad as high you can die from either one
Reply:I lost my husband to Diabetes. He was 35. He also was Hispanic and it tends to threaten the Hispanic and Black cultures the worst. He went into a Diabetic coma and then eventually had heart failure. Good luck with your paper, it is something that needs to be addressed in a big way.
Reply:Although I am a fourth generation diabetic, there is no one outside that straight line who is/was diabetic as far as I know. My great grandmother died in her sixties shortly after I was born, so I never got to meet her. My grandmother recently died in her eighties. She took pretty good care of hers, but had other problems as well. My biological father (age 65) probably won't last a great deal longer as he refused for many years to take care of his and also has other problems. His diabetes is now being tightly controlled, but he's bedridden in a nursing home.

Reply:my best friend died in a diabetic coma at age 32
she almost died three years earlier in a similar coma when
on her doctors advice her mother had the feeding tubes /life support removed. even after losing a foot she was a productve person leading a nearly normal life.
