Some do, but most don't. Most people live to be at least 75, in the U.S. The life expectancy is about 78 at birth, but it increases with age. That is, a person who is 77 isn't likely to die within a year, but instead has an average life expectancy of at least another dozen years or so. Even a person who is 100 can expect to live for another three years.

What I am talking about is the industrial addition of sugar to things that are not normally have sugar. The addition does not make it overly sweet. But for diabetics they have to monitor this. They often have surprises and the tests spike. Example: Before eating in the morning your blood glucose will be around 100. You eat breakfast and normal testing is in one hour, which usually is the time when blood glucose has aleady peaked out. The reading might be 130, no problem. But if it is 180, there is a problem. Certain foods will cause a diabetic to spike and get a high reading. If 180 is enregistered, one tests in another hour, seeing if it dropped to may be 120. If a diabetic gets a regular fasting value in the morning of 180 that is dangerous and the end game is blindness, heart trouble and kidney failure. So diabeticsmonitor their intake, some foods will spike them others not. Each diabetic is different in that regard. My brother died from kidney failure. Fortunately it is otherwise unknown in my family and I have no problems, yet. |
