“Does diabetes get worse with age?”

If you are in good control diabetes does not get worse with age. With type 1 diabetes this is particularly true. If you are a type 2 patient you must also address cardiovascular risk factors as that can worsen with age.

Yes, but with attention and great care, you can avoid most of the major complications.

Well, that is a difficult question. What type is it, type 1 or 2? Regardless, in my experience, yes, diabetes becomes more volatile with time, thus age. Not necessarily. If the control has been good, then the volatility is less. I have patients who have had diabetes for decades with good, tight control.

Diabetes. Does not get worse with age per second but complication. Become more frequent and severe

Life style modifications such as diet and exercise together with appropriate medications could halt the progress of the disease and reduce the cardiovascular complications.Therefore age is really not a major factor in worsening of diabetes,all things considered.

Sometimes yes & sometimes no. The beta cells that make insulin age & deteriorate just like any other organ. Just as your joints wear out & may need replacement, as a female your ovaries wear out & you are no longer fertile, your brain can wear out & you develop dementia and just as the brakes & other parts of your car wear out so can the beta cells of the pancreas. It has been estimated that under ideal conditions that the life span of the beta cells is about 140 yrs. So if we lived to be 150 yrs old we'd all have diabetes. Sometimes the beta cells wear out faster in one person than in another. So that person will see their diabetes worsen with age while the other will not. This is controlled by both genetic causes we can do nothing about and by environmental factors such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, failure to take medicine, etc that we can do something about. The more strain we put on the beta cells from overeating, eating the wrong things, not exercising, obesity, etc. the sooner the cells will deterioate & the diabetes will get worse. So you can do something to slow the deterioration by your life style & following the rules. I have had diabetes for 27 Yrs. & it has not gotten better or worse but I try hard to follow the rules I taught my patients over the years.
