In Scotland, one out of every 20 people has diabetes, of which type 2 diabetes accounts for more than 90%, mainly because insulin does not work effectively.

The University of Edinburgh-led research team compared the anonymous health data of more than 250,000 type 2 diabetic patients in Scotland with 2.8 million people without this condition. These people are between the ages of 40 and 89. The researchers divided them into age groups to observe changes in life expectancy, taking into account their socioeconomic status factors.
According to the analysis of the research team, patients with type 2 diabetes have a shorter life span than the general population, both male and female, in most age groups and socioeconomic classes. The only exception is men who are over the age of 80 and in the poorest class, and no relevant phenomena have been observed in this group.
Researchers say that life spans are different for different age groups. For example, in women between the ages of 40 and 44, the life gap is about 5.5 years.
Professor Sarah Wilde of the University of Edinburgh said that this study shows that if we want to improve life expectancy, it is necessary to strengthen the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes in the whole society. A healthy lifestyle can bring about very positive management of the disease. Help.
