[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1470365, member: 41816"] I think this is an impossible question to answer. Both conditions vary hugely in their severity and expression, so comparisons simply can't be done. I am very wary of anyone suggesting that any one condition or type of condition is 'worse'. This simply isn't true. There are people who haven't had an epileptic siezure for so long that they are symptom free for years, and people with diabetes who reach 50 years after diagnosis without complications. But that doesn't give the whole picture. Some diabetics only get a diagnosis after complications are already severe, and some epileptics have seizures every day. The only certainty is that both conditions need to be taken very very seriously. [/QUOTE]
