A member asked:
My grandma is 65 years old who found out that her body will no longer produce insulin. how long can she live?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Long live your g m!: If she is being carefully followed and managed by her doctors she will do fine from the diabetes issue. That said her age puts her at risk from any number of other issues if she doesn't see her doctors regularly. With you taking some charge you can be a very good support.
