Beware as even with borderline diabetes there is already small vessel damage ongoing
Those suffering from type-2 diabetes are three times more likely to die in middle-age than those without the disease, new research claims.
The study, published in the journal of Diabetic Medicine, found that deaths among type-2 diabetes sufferers were far more frequent than in the general population, based on recorded deaths between 1992 and 1999.
Across all age groups, type-2 diabetes sufferers were found to be twice as likely to die compared with healthy individuals. The findings are the first to confirm increased deaths from type-2 diabetes in younger people, something that researchers say should prompt healthcare professionals to focus on earlier diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
