You will live a very long time. I have diabetes. I went to a diabetes class a couple of year ago you really need to exercise, change your diet (get a good book on diabetes food), watch your blood sugar number (test with your machine 2 time or so a day), and manage your lab tests (like AH1C) once in a while. Your life do not have a limit!

You can expect to live a long time if you practice and adhere to a diabetic nutrition/diet, maintain proper body weight, perform physical exercise daily, and control and manage your glucose levels. If you do not follow these lifestyle changes then there will be many complications that will make your life miserable. Diabetics who do not control and manage their glucose levels have a harder time healing so minor injuries and infections may become fatal as they grow older.
