A person can live with Type 2 Diabetes for many many years, into old age, just like any other person. The thing is that such a person has an increased risk of suffering serious health problems like heart disease, lack of circulation, and even blindness. You should try to help your mom to lose weight. The good news is that for many people, once they lose excess weight, the Type 2 Diabetes actually disappears. You should do exercise together, even starting with light walking and perhaps encourage your mom to see a dietician. She has a long life ahead of her!
