Depends, I think. What would you call good control?
I think there isn't much known about diabetics keeping close to normal numbers in the long run, because this has only become possible with frequent at home testing or CGM, relatively new knowledge on low carbing etc.
Those things haven't been here long enough to see if there are people with normal-like bg who get complications after many decades.

I diagnosed in November 2019 T2 but despite good control over sugar, doctor diagnosed me with neuropathy. My uncle and my mom have been diabetic since last 10 years, they don't follow diet still they don't have any complication yet. But why this happening with me i am 28 years old.

I'm sorry about the neuropathy, must be very hard for you.
What kind of numbers are you seeing when you say you have good control?

Not all neuropathy relates to diabetes. Neuropathy really just means nerve pain.

I have neuropathy in my ribs, following an operation. I has almost gone now, but nothing whatsoever to do with diabetes.

I only now see you were diagnosed only a short while ago. Usually it takes many years to develop diabetic neuropathy, even with constant high blood glucose.
Are you seeing a specialist doctor? You're very young to have T2, and having neuropathy as well is very unusual.
