00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, Life expectancy with type 1 diabetes,
00:14what you should know.
00:15Type 1 diabetes can shorten your life due to complications like heart disease,
00:19stroke, kidney issues, and nerve damage.
00:22These occur when blood sugar isn't properly managed,
00:24and one complication can increase the risk of others.
00:27Mental health challenges, like depression, can also affect life expectancy,
00:31especially when dealing with multiple health conditions.
00:341. Facts and figures.
00:36Studies show that people with type 1 diabetes may live about 10 to 12 years less than those without
00:40it, but working with your doctor and managing risk factors can help extend your life.
00:45Thanks to advances in insulin therapy, many people with type 1 diabetes live full,
00:49active lives, though it can still impact life expectancy.
00:522. Are people with type 1 diabetes living longer?
00:55Yes, over the years, advancements in insulin therapy and better understanding of risks have
01:00led to fewer complications, especially in heart attack and stroke, making people with
01:04diabetes live longer. For example, a 2020 study showed a smaller gap, finding that in Bulgaria,
01:10the life expectancy for people without diabetes was 74.8 years, while for those with type 1
01:15diabetes, it was 70.96 years.
01:183. How to increase your life expectancy?
01:21You can protect your health by working with your doctor to manage blood sugar and any
01:25related conditions. Eating a balanced diet, exercising 150 minutes per week, regularly
01:31checking your A1c levels, cholesterol and blood pressure. Quitting smoking, if applicable,
01:36and maintaining a moderate weight.
01:384. Questions for your doctor, ask your doctor about,
01:41medication options, tracking your glucose and health progress, recommended lifestyle changes,
01:46other specialists to see, support groups, and when to seek help.
