Life expectancy for type 1 diabetes may be improving | Fox News: On average, people with type 1 diabetes die 11 to 13 years earlier than people without the condition, according to a new study from Scotland.
While the news may be disheartening for people with type 1 diabetes, the study’s senior researcher said the new results are more encouraging than previous estimates that found larger gaps in life expectancies.

An important message is that the difference in life expectancy is narrowing, said Dr. Helen Colhoun of the University of Dundee School of Medicine in Scotland.
“It’s not zero,” she said. “The goal is to get it to zero.”
