Hi, my son is 13 years old and he is suffering from type 1 diabetes. This disorder appeared after I have divorced with my wife and our soon take it very hard. Soon after that he gets diabetes. He is doing fine right now, with smaller crisis from time to time, but I would like to know how it would affect his future life and what life expectancy for such disorder is.

Hi, I am also suffering from type 1 diabetes for a long time. Treatments and medications are greatly improved but such disorders are leaving consequences which are shortening our life potential. Unfortunately type 1 diabetes is shortening life expectancy for about 15 years. Serious heart damages, same as damages on the blood vessels are main reason for this.

I bet he just got the MMR booster prior to getting type one. Vaccines give many people type 1.

Where is the evidence for the most recent comment? It is complete non-sense. MMR has never showed any association with type I diabetes, even with the hysteresis dominant in society these days. The claim that it causes autism (based on original anecdotes of a whopping *11* children) has been discredited on countless occasions; and to put a final boot in the unhelpful comment above, the MMR booster is given within a child's second year of life. Here are just some recent academic papers on the subject.
