[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2070552, member: 475037"] They used to say it knocked 20 years off your life. They don't anymore. One of the theories is the older you develop type 1 and you are well controlled the less time for complications to cause an issue. This I have been told by health professionals. New technology nowadays allows for much better control. They are better at addressing some of the issues that happen. But I'm not sure there is an answer for you out there? Because there is now some people that have had diabetes for 60 years and going strong and the new technology hasn't been around long enough to know if life expectancy outlook has improved with most of it? And I ran across something I was reading that said there is no reason it should shorten your life span now if it is well controlled. (And no I don't remember where as I didn't make a note of it, I just remember thinking huh and moving on.) Far different from years of old when my uncle died from it in the 40's and he was only about 30 years old. [/QUOTE]
