A member asked:
How long can a person live with type 2 diabetes that is not in control? no medications whatsoever is being used.

Unknown: There is no way of answering this question. As blood sugars remain uncontrolled, the risks of complications such as blindness, kidney failure, infections, amputations, cardiovascular events goes higher and higher. Its like wearing a time bomb but not knowing when it will explode. However, once complications develop there is no going back, hence, treat it now while you can.
