Individuals with diabetes can live long, meaningful, and productive lives if symptoms are treated and managed correctly. It is impossible to know for sure how diabetes will affect a person’s life expectancy. On average, type 2 diabetes reduces a person’s life expectancy by ten years, while type 1 diabetes reduces a person’s life expectancy by 20 years. Factors that can significantly improve an individual’s life expectancy include diligence in taking medication, regular screening of blood-glucose levels, rigorous diet and exercise routines, and helpful stress management strategies.
