[QUOTE="mrburden, post: 261689, member: 10956"] I would say that whilst it probably doesn't "shorten" our lives, diabetes increases our risk of other problems such as high blood pressure, stroke or heart attack etc. all of which can reduce the life expectancy. I suppose this is a statistical question with the answer being based on statistics too. Some will be lucky to see a ripe old age while others will not, but bring statistics into play and we, as diabetics, are probably seen as more likely to die at a younger age generally [/QUOTE]
