I’m not really sure. I’ve had it 5 1/2 years now. And I’m doing ok. I dont need meds. or insulin yet, cause I have mine under control through my diet. The better you take care of yourself and keep it under control, the longer you live. But your best bet is to talk to your doctor about it. Being overweight doesnt help at all. I was the first in my family to have it. I’m 49 now. Just 4 years ago my dad found out he had it. If others in your family have it you’re more at risk to have it. But not all family members do get it. It just makes you at a higher risk to have it.
