What is the prognosis for someone with diabetes?

A person with diabetes can lead a long, healthy, normal life as long as they keep their disease under control. This means following a healthy diet, daily exercise, taking medications as directed, checking the blood glucose often, and seeing the doctor every 3 or 4 months. It can be passed by the father or the mother and does not skip generations. (although it can) The only cure as of today is a pancreas transplant. There are many things that people claim that can cure diabetes, but most of them are just money makers, like herbal cures. Many people say that type 2 can be cured by diet and exercise, but they are very unimformed people. There is no cure (other than pancreas transplant) for either type of diabetes. Type 2 can sometimes be controlled by diet and exercise, but usually later in life will require medication. 51% of those diagnosed with type 2 were never overweight or had bad lifestyle choices. In type 2 the pancreas does not make enough insulin. Many times it makes too much insulin and the body does not use it correctly.Many times type 2 is treated with oral meds, insulin or both. In type 1 the pancreas does not make insulin. This type is insulin dependent. Diabetes can be genetic, thus can be passed on from parents with the disease.

The prognosis is that he'll still have diabetes in however many years ... unless they come up with a cure. Edit: I'm glad you added an extra comment as I thought you might not have used the correct term. Prognosis basically means what the outlook, or prediction of the probable course and outcome of a disease would be. If the guy controls his diabetes, meaning keeps his blood glucose (sugar) levels as near 'normal' as possible ... for ever, and not just every now and again, he will live a long, happy, complication-free life. He's lucky to have found someone that cares enough to ask things about what his condition entails. Be well ... both of you.

It increases the risks but it is not the only thing to consider. Life style is often part of the issue. Life style changes now could delay or prevent you from getting diabetes later.

What you eat is not actually the cause of diabetes, but how you live can be. If you sit on the couch all day, your chances of developing diabetes goes up greatly.

Just do the best you can to not gain weight and to maintain an active life style and that will greatly help reduce some of your risks.

I've been diabetic for 25 years and I disagree that it is not an inheirited disease. My gfather, father and twin sister all have diabetes too. The prognosis for diabetics 25 years ago was bleak. With all of the advancements in insulin and diagnosis and everyhting else, a diabetic that maintains normal blood sugars and takes care of themselves have the same life expectancy as a "normal" person. It seems like a lot of work but after a while it's just like putting your glasses on in the morning. I don't belive that diabetes comes from one side of the family or the other b/c it comes from both sides in my family. I guess med pros say that a baby's cord blood can cure diabetes but since I am against manipulating nature, I haven't read much on it. Not sure what you mean by gene splicing. I have never let my diabetes stop me from doing what I wanted and I think it's completely stupid that people treat you differently b/c u have it.

There is no cure for type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes can go into remission after weight loss , gastric bypass or banding.

Type 2 diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder linked to obesity, it develops over time, with the body becoming progressively less able to control blood sugar levels. Some patients, who have had ‘gastric banding’, show a reversal of diabetes. Other patients have shown a dramatic improvement of glucose tolerance.
