There is no certainty as to how long you will live with type 2 diabetes, it needs to be judged in the context of the patient’s condition. If treatment is timely and there are no serious complications, then survival time will be longer, but if the condition is severe, then survival time will be drastically shortened.
Type 2 diabetes is a relatively common type of diabetes, mainly caused by insufficient insulin secretion or insulin resistance. Once diagnosed, patients usually need lifelong treatment, so life expectancy may be affected to a certain extent, and the specific survival time is related to their own condition.
If the patient can actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment in the early stage, then the survival time will be longer and basically can survive for a long time. However, if the patient does not receive timely treatment and develops various complications, such as diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy and peripheral neuropathy, then the survival time will be shortened, and in serious cases, it may even be life-threatening.
In daily life, patients should pay attention to their diet, eat more fresh vegetables, avoid sugary foods, quit smoking and drinking in time, strengthen physical exercise, and regularly monitor their blood glucose, and actively control their blood glucose under the guidance of doctors.
