There is NO Fast Way

Complications of Diabetes take a good few years to kill you and first rob you of your mobility and leave you in constant pain "for years"

Most die from Congestive Heart Failure - you essentially end up drowning in your own fluid which fills your lungs (60% of Type 2's die this way)

But I guess if you Stroke or have a Heart Attack and "don't survive" the incident that would be quick - another 20% of Type 2's go this way

About 15% die from Chronic Kidney Disease after a number of years of Dialysis 2 or 3 days a week - not a Club Med Vacation for sure

On a positive note, getting ripped apart by wild dogs is almost a non-existent risk and that would be kinda quick but terror filled

I have seen at least a dozen "end stage" deaths due to complications - hazard of having prevalent diabetes in the family, on both sides, for at least 4 generations and those that died from the Beast all spent their last year to 18 months in ICU or Respite Care with their hearts and kidneys in a race to see which would take them out first

Fortunately for a few, including my Father, the Diabetes Dementia had turned his brain into mush a few years earlier when it took his vision and he didn't quite understand that he was simply laying in an ICU bed "waiting to die"

Ya, I left out the last 5% - those are the ones that manage the disease and die from old age, car accidents, cancer or something else non-diabetes related

That's the group I'm shooting for myself

PS - Uncontrolled diabetes Kills You one of those ways 100% of the time - nobody gets a hall pass and since we are already Diabetics, we are those "other people" that bad and horrible things happen to - we are past the point of "might happen" and squarely in the "control it or else"

I have kidneys that do not work properly. I have anemia. I have hypertension. I am epileptic. I have cataracts.

The only good thing is a love to walk, go to museums, and read physical books.

High sugar levels for a long time can cause cumulative damage. Leading to heart attacks, and strokes. These can be fatal!

@A DiabetesTeam Member One of the ways to die with Diabetes is continuous increase of your blood sugar fir a very long time leading to complications in some cases.
