How long can diabetes last without control?

Uncontrolled diabetes can seriously threaten the survival of patients.

Diabetes itself is not terrible, but if it is not controlled, it may cause a variety of complications, such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, neuropathy, retinopathy, etc. If diabetes is not controlled, the patient's blood sugar level will continue to rise, resulting in vascular damage, poor blood circulation, and thus affecting the function of various organs of the body. Over time, these complications may gradually appear and may develop to an irreversible point, such as kidney failure, blindness, amputation, etc., seriously reducing the quality of life of patients.

As for how long diabetes can live without control, there is no definite answer. Because everyone's physical condition, lifestyle habits, complications and other factors are different. However, it is certain that uncontrolled diabetes will greatly shorten the life expectancy of patients and increase their health risks.
