Best Answer

You can die at any age. Infants, at birth, have died of Diabetes.

However, Diabetes related conditions that lead to death can often be avoided by ensuring that the Diabetic looks after themselves in terms of nutrition and medication. In these cases, a Diabetics life span is not altered significantly from a person without Diabetes.

It is also important that regular physical checks are carried out on the diabetic. For instance Metformin and other drugs can have an effect on the liver that needs to be checked. Also, it is important to remember that the refined sugar intake for a Diabetic cannot be processed by the pancreas and will reach other organs. Diabetic Retinopathy is one such condition that can cause the deterioration of a Diabetic's sight. Medical checks on a Diabetic's eyes need to be carried out regularly and if necessary treatment can sometimes be successfully given.
