This is how your risk of diabetes increases as you get older
Be aware that diabetes can cause many complications in the elderly. These could be heart attacks, strokes, peripheral vascular disease, chronic kidney failure or blindness. So along with diabetes treatment, regular checkups are essential to monitor diabetes control and monitor the development of complications. As you age, you are at higher risk of diabetes-induced symptoms and organ failure. As you age, increasing insulin resistance and declining islet function will reduce your life expectancy to 74 years.
