Do diabetics age faster than non diabetics? if so Why? and can this situation be reversed?

Answer 1

Not as such. The problem is that because diabetes can cause the blood glucose to vary, it damages the very small blood vessels. Anywhere that you have a lot of small blood vessels, you can have a problem. Thus a diabetic is much more prone to kidney & heart diseases problems with the nervous system & blindness.

When you put all these together, it adds up to long term complications, which can shorten life expectancy.

The key is keeping tight control of your blood glucoses.

Answer 6

Diabetics do not "age faster", but I guess you could say that they're vascular system ages faster. At particular risk are tint capillaries that get dameged from theexcess sugar in the bloodstream. The kidneys, feet and hands have a lotof these tiny vessels- so diabetics end up with renal disease and peripheral vascular disease.

Answer 7

Keeping you diabetes under control is the key. As long as it is you'll age no differently than others. I'm 50 and have type ll diabetes.

Answer 8

We don't age faster--but we CAN wear out faster. Diabetes is stressful on our bodies.

DAMAGE FROM DIABETES

Damage to the retina from diabetes (diabetic retinopathy) is a leading cause of blindness.
Damage to the kidneys from diabetes (diabetic nephropathy) is a leading cause of kidney failure.
Damage to the nerves from diabetes (diabetic neuropathy) is a leading cause of foot wounds and ulcers, which frequently lead to foot and leg amputations.
Damage to the nerves in the autonomic nervous system can lead to paralysis of the stomach (gastroparesis), chronic diarrhea, and an inability to control heart rate and blood pressure with posture changes.
Diabetes accelerates atherosclerosis, or the formation of fatty plaques inside the arteries, which can lead to blockages or a clot (thrombus), which can then lead to heart attack, stroke, and decreased circulation in the arms and legs (peripheral vascular disease).
Diabetes predisposes people to high blood pressure and high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These independently and together with hyperglycemia increase the risk of heart disease, kidney disease, and other blood vessel complications.
Many infections are associated with diabetes, and infections are frequently more dangerous in someone with diabetes because the body's normal ability to fight infections is impaired. To compound the problem, infections may worsen glucose control, which further delays recovery from infection.

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be TOTALLY CORRECTED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.
