Prognosis
- Type 1 diabetes:
- Many people with type 1 diabetes have good health but there is an increased risk of blindness, end-stage renal disease, cardiovascular disease and, in some cases, early death.
- Controlling blood glucose, lipids, blood pressure and weight are important prognostic factors.
- Type 2 diabetes:
- 75% of people with type 2 diabetes will die of heart disease and 15% of stroke.
- The mortality rate from cardiovascular disease is up to five times higher in people with diabetes than in people without diabetes.
- For every 1% increase in HbA1c level, the risk of death from a diabetes-related cause increases by 21%.
