[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2069816, member: 468714"] [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER], [USER=21149]@Daibell[/USER] , [USER=461457]@LionChild[/USER] , From looking at liyerature and oersonal experience over time, not as health professional opinion or advice: Looking at Neonatal diabetes mellitus and choosing Wikipedia as the least cpmlex article of several, it appears that high blood sugars in newborn and in the first 6 months of life appear to be either temporary related to glucose infusions, severe infections or nerve system problema at a rate of 1 in 45,000 to 60,000 live births but about 30 % of the total number become permanently diabetic on the basis of a whole host of genetic problems which affect things the development of the pancreas gland and beta cells, the production of insulin, abnormalitues in cells that sense blood sugar and so on. Some the genetic troubles causes poor development of other hormone porducing glands and those children died in early life, orhers have mental retatrdation and liver/ kidney ptoblems and still others were not so afflicted but developed MODY ( Maturity Onset Diabetes of Youth) near puberty. The prognosis of those other than as stated above were not detailed. Statistics about diabetes in general and longevity in particular do to take time to be generated and can change over time with scientific advances. Also with conditions like LADA and T2D it can be difficult to know for how long bsls have been high the literature in general seems to point to high bsls as a major determinant of appearance of diabetes complications due damage of the microciculation such as to eye, kidney and nerves, plus high bsls and high insulin quantities in the body to damage to major blood vessels such as coronary heart disease, strokes etc. In terms of microciculation the one go-to study is in Type 1 diabetics called DCCT and its follow up one called the EPIC study showing that early tight control of bsls ( particularly in first 6 1/2 years or so) was associated with less diabetic complications over time. Whilst one cannot truly extrapolate that to all diabetics it does give an idea of how long bsls may need to be elevated before damage is fully evident. And there are anecdotal evidence that even after eye, kidney or nerve complications have developed that improved BSL can lead to improvement and sometimes total remission of such complications. If one has severe kidney issues or nerve ones, that may affect lifespan if the stats are to be believed. Heart disease is correlated with high bsls on an epidiological basis but there is vigorous debate on whether reduction of cholesterol etc makes a difference to any large blood vessel diseases or to lifespan( subscribe to zoeharcombe.com to see why). So i do not think there is a simple answer beyond: Keeping bsls as close to a non-diabetic level, Perhaps controversial but avoiding high carb and low fat diet Undetaking regular exercise Being careful on the roads!
