[QUOTE="Notorious, post: 2069984, member: 219023"] [USER=461457]@LionChild[/USER] I don't think anyone can tell you because there won't be much data on people diagnosed so late in life. As an anecdote, my grandfather was diagnosed with type 1 in his 50's and lived till the age of 77 with minimal complications except for the beginnings of cateracts. Type 1 does tend to take a little more off the life expectancy of women than men. My personal theory with that is because heart disease affects women slightly differently to men and maybe diabetes makes that particular variation worse. But here's no reason why with good blood glucose control using the new technology available to us that we can't defy previous life expectancy models. We're a pioneer generation with tools available to us that previous diabetics did not. [/QUOTE]
