A member asked:
How long can a person live with symptoms of diabetes before diagnosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: On Type of diabetes and severity of symptoms. Type 1 diabetes is usually profoundly symptomatic and rapidly progresses to dehydration, acidosis and death if not treated promptly. Type 2 diabetes can be symptomatic for months, if not years before it comes to medical attention. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
