It is impossible to generalize how many years you can live with diabetes at the age of 50. If no serious complications are induced, the patient can survive for a long time.
1. Acute complications of diabetes mellitus: diabetes mellitus once the blood sugar control is not good, may induce some fatal acute complications, such as hyperosmolar glucose coma and neurological complications, etc., is potentially fatal, the need for emergency rescue, if the rescue is timely, the prognosis is still good, the later strict control of blood glucose does not affect the life expectancy.
2. Chronic complications of diabetes mellitus, diabetes mellitus blood sugar long-term control is poor, will produce macrovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis, thus triggering cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, etc., the prognosis and the time of coma, location and size of foci, onset of the disease speed, age, the presence of comorbidities, and many other factors related to. The prognosis of severe cerebral infarction is not good and can be life-threatening.
3. Diabetic foot: If the condition of diabetic foot is more serious, the inhibition of anti-infective treatment is ineffective, or no active treatment, it may induce sepsis or sepsis and lead to the death of the patient. Therefore, if the diabetic rotten foot is more serious, it is possible that amputation needs to be considered when necessary to avoid systemic infection.
Therefore, strict management of blood glucose in patients who have diabetes at the age of 50 is crucial to delay the development of complications and improve the quality of life of diabetic patients. Patients with diabetes need to visit the hospital regularly for follow-ups to assess the effectiveness of treatment and related complications.
