Lifespans For Type 1 Diabetes Patients Getting Longer

[Northerner]

According to a study published online in the journal Diabetes, life expectancy significantly increased among individuals with type 1 diabetes during a 30-year, long-term prospective study.

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh found that study participants diagnosed with type 1 diabetes between 1965 and 1980 lived around 15 years longer than participants diagnosed between 1950 and 1964. During the same period, the life expectancy of the general U.S. population also increased by less than one year.

Nice to have a scientific paper to back up what we've all suspected for a while 🙂

A good paper to quote to newly diagnosed people who come here frightened witless by out of date data.
