Can u die from type 2 diabetes?

Both my parents have type 2 diabetes, and I'm worried about getting it myself. I know it's a serious condition, but can it actually lead to death? I'm trying to understand the long-term risks.

Yes, untreated type 2 diabetes can lead to fatal complications like heart disease or kidney failure. Since I manage PCOS, I know how tough insulin issues can be. It's best to consult an endocrinologist and work on your health step by step.

Yes, it can be fatal if you treat sugar like a daily food group! But honestly, millions manage it perfectly fine every day. Just cut down on the gulab jamuns, see your doc, and you will be absolutely fine.

Yes, chronic high blood sugar damages your blood vessels over time, which can lead to fatal strokes or heart attacks. I carefully monitor my daily carb intake and walk after meals. Please see a doctor to get your HbA1c checked and get a personalized plan.

Yes, it is highly dangerous if ignored. I had very high fasting sugar last year, but I managed to bring it down to normal levels with proper medication and diet under my doctor's guidance. Early intervention is key, so get tested soon.

Yes, it can lead to life-threatening heart and kidney issues if left unmanaged. Just like I have to do regular thyroid tests to keep my health in check, diabetics need constant monitoring. Please stay in touch with your doctor and get regular checkups.

Yes, it can be fatal due to cardiovascular risks. However, combining strength training and a clean diet is highly effective at managing insulin resistance. Always work with your doctor to adjust your meds as you get active.

Yes, it can cause severe complications like diabetic ketoacidosis or kidney failure, which are life-threatening. My grandmother used to suggest various herbal mixtures, but we always prioritize the doctor's prescribed insulin or tablets. Please seek clinical advice.

Yes, it is very scary to think that diabetes can cause fatal heart issues. I recently got diagnosed and I am constantly worried about complications. Has anyone else felt this same anxiety when they first started their meds?
