How long can i live with diabetes 2?

My father-in-law has Type 2 diabetes and he's always asking about his health and lifespan. It's a bit of a sensitive topic. How long can someone typically live with diabetes type 2 if they manage it well?

You can live a long, healthy life if you manage it well. I successfully reversed my high blood sugar levels with a strict lifestyle change and regular doctor advice, so don't lose hope.

Haan na, positive attitude rakhoge toh normal life span jee sakte ho. Bas doctor ke touch mein rehna padega aur regular checkup karna padega safety ke liye.

I have seen many people live active lives for 30 to 40 years after diagnosis. The key is regular testing, taking prescribed medicines, and staying in touch with your doctor.

You can live a full life, but please be cautious. I ignored my levels and faced kidney complications, so I strongly urge you to consult your doctor regularly to avoid issues.

You can actually live a normal, long life with proper care, yaar. Just follow your doctor's advice, keep tracking your HbA1c, and don't take unnecessary stress.

I worry about this constantly too, but doctors say managing it gives you a normal lifespan. Please visit your doctor regularly so you can get the right support and feel at ease.

In my experience, combining gentle yoga, pranayama, and proper medication allows you to live a long, peaceful life. Always keep your doctor informed of your routine.
