how long do i have left to live?

Question

i am 85 with diabetes 2

Answer 1

Well, you asked 5 months ago and here you are again, so I'd say things look pretty good. Keep eating healthy and exercising and you'll be back in 5 months to ask again. :)

Answer 2

Go to your local geek hangout, and ask the D&D gamers. Maximum age is 2d20+70 years.

No, seriously. Who cares? 85 is a ripe old age, and if diabetes hasn't killed you yet, it probably won't get you before old age does anyway. Of course, you probably should have had your affairs put together by this point anyway, but there's plenty of older people with diabetes that live for years, or even decades.

Just keep your sugar levels under control, and go on living. Remember, the thing to worry about is Quality, not Quantity. A long life isn't always good enough, but a good life is always long enough.

Answer 3

Choose to be happy and make every day count. No one knows the length of your life except for God. God bless you and I hope you'll stay positive and keep enjoying life.

Make it a priority to take good care of your body. The time you spend now on eye care, foot care and skin care, as well as your heart health and oral health, could delay or prevent the onset of dangerous diabetes complications later in life. In addition, one of the best things you can do for your body is to stop smoking.

Heart Disease and Stroke
People with diabetes have extra reason to be mindful of heart and blood vessel disease. Diabetes carries an increased risk for heart attack, stroke, and complications related to poor circulation.

Skin Care
As many as one-third of people with diabetes will have a skin disorder caused or affected by diabetes at some time in their lives. In fact, such problems are sometimes the first sign that a person has diabetes. Luckily, most skin conditions can be prevented or easily treated if caught early.

Foot Care
People with diabetes can develop many different foot problems. Foot problems most often happen when there is nerve damage in the feet or when blood flow is poor. Learn how to protect your feet by following some basic guidelines.

Eye Care
Diabetes can cause eye problems and may lead to blindness. People with diabetes do have a higher risk of blindness than people without diabetes. Early detection and treatment of eye problems can save your sight.

Oral Health & Oral Hygiene
If you have diabetes, you are at a higher risk for gum disease and other mouth-related problems. Learn more about maintaining good dental health.

Smoking
Kicking the smoking habit is hard, but worth the work. Tobacco has many bad health effects, particularly for people with diabetes. No matter how long you've smoked, your health will improve when you quit.

Alcohol
Alcohol is everywhere: at family gatherings, at cookouts, after the company softball game, and at parties. One very common question is "What would you like to drink?" If you have diabetes, what do you say?

Stress
Stress results when something causes your body to behave as if it were under attack. Sources of stress can be physical, like injury or illness. Or they can be mental, like problems in your marriage, job, health, or finances.

You could be around another 15 years! Diabetes is not a death sentence, you know!

Answer 5

If you take good care of yourself you can live longer, I cant give you an exact amount of time but the healthiest person in the world could die tomorrow if God is ready for him

Answer 6

if you ask me, i would not worry about it and just enjoy life while you can and just have fun. You don't want to know when you will die because then you will just be worrying and waiting, Do the things you want to do before your time is up and don't think about when life ends. Who knows, you might even be better off where you end up

Answer 7

Regardless of your age you can fight this disease by eating right and exercising. Live your life to the fullest and let God carry you the remainder.

Answer 8

As long as you take your insulin and don't develop complications, there is little reason you can't live out your full span of days.

Answer 9

You have to be more specific:
How many happy days you will live?
How many unhappy days you will live?
I think you will live alot of happy days....
And Have a nice day
