Diabetes comes with a lot of possible complications. If it is not controlled a person can lose its sight, can get the diabetic foot which mostly means amputation. Possible kidney faliure, nerve cells damage, thyreosis, etc.
There really is a lot of them but some (the scary ones) can be avoided by taking regular checkups and following the right treatment that your doctor gave you.

Statistically the life expectancy for a diabetic is shorter than that of a non-diabetic person. However, I know people in their 80s who have lived with diabetes since childhood. It all depends on how you choose to manage your diabetes.

It differs, it just depends how well you look after it, look after it and you can live to be old but if you don't it can shorten your life dramatically

I don't know for sure, but us Diabetics can live very long lives. My grandpa has diabetes, he's 71, and is still very healthy and active.

Can live up to 70 80 or 90 if your sugers are well controlled and lots of exercise followed with diet

Translated from portuguese Improve translation
If well cared for, the conditions are good. But if poorly handled, can bring various problems, such as blindness, circulation problems
