NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Relative to their peers
without type 1 diabetes, patients who are diagnosed with the disease in young
adulthood are at greater risk for death than those diagnosed in childhood.
So,
dear diabetics, if you were diagnosed at age 0-15 think you are the lucky ones.
Those, who were in their 15-26 - should know that there is a curse on you,
which is called diabetes research! :)
It's
so funny how the scientists always try to subdivide all the people into the
categories. Imagine a conversation between two friends who have diabetes:
"I was diagnosed at age 8, What about you?" - "I was 17,
although seems like I could have had the disease for a while without knowing
about it" - "So maybe we should stop being friends as I do not want
to hang out with a cursed person".
