Difficult question but would appreciate honest answer. life expectancy for 21 y.o. diabetic a1c 9.0. past been up to 11.7. no complications yet.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Honest answer: This depends partly on dumb luck as for anybody else and most of the on whether you choose to be compliant in the future. Almost all teenaged diabetics are noncompliant. Now that you've reached the age of an adult, the joys and responsibilities seem more long-term. Get with the program now and you can expect a life like most everyone else's.
