Patient's question:
My friend got diabetes a few weeks ago. I heard this disease is very serious, but luckily, he has been taking his medication on time to alleviate it. So, how long can someone live with diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes is a common clinical diagnosis caused by the interaction of intergenerational inheritance and environmental factors, primarily characterized by hyperglycemia. Common symptoms include polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, and weight loss. Diabetes itself is not a fatal disease, so if diabetes is controlled very well and diabetes-related acute and severe complications do not reappear, it will not interfere with the expected lifespan. If you have diabetes, it is recommended to go to a standardized diabetes department to adjust medication actively and cooperate with treatment.
