They can typically live nearly as long as their at-birth life expectancy, if utilizing a proper dialysis program and eating right, exercising, etc.
i investigate medical malpractice, pills, herbs, hopital bills, water and more. I wrote a best seller bok, called the CURES FOR THE SICK N TIRED.NET
YOU SHOULD READ THIS. fIRST QUESTION YOU SHOULD ASK WHY ARE YOU ON KIDNEY MACHINE. I INVEstIGATE PILLS AND FOODS THAT DO NOT GET ALONG WITH KIDNEY MACINES. The liver and an internal cleaner of herbs even killed my 4th stage cancer

∙ 15y agoThere is no way of knowing how long, it depends on a lot of things. If someone is in good shape they might live as long as everyone else, on the other hand, people with other problems like HIV may not live very long.

How easy is it to stick to a diet for diabetes?
For many people it is very hard to adjust to so many changes in diet in order to defeat diabetes. If a person is prone to loving sugar and carbohydrates then it can take awhile to adjust and stick to a diet. Companies are starting to make really great tasting foods for people with diabetes. Whole Foods has a large selection of foods that fit into diets for diabetes. It is easier to stick to a diet if you are charting progress and making a commitment to live a longer and healthier life.

There is not a set life expectancy for a person who has type 1 diabetes. A lot of it has to do with how well you take care of yourself. A person who is 20 right now may live about 11 to 14 years less than a person who does not have type 1. Mary Tyler Moore is a type 1 and is 77 as of 2014.
How can a person survive even if they suffer with kidney failure?
Dialysis is designed to completely take over the function of the failed kidneys. As long as the person is dialyzed frequently enough, they can live for a normal life span. (The issue is that being attached to a dialysis machine takes up a lot of time, and normally they're not portable. This means that the person will spend much less time doing the things which they actually want to do).
