What is the life expectancy with type 1 diabetes in Moldova?
A 10-year-old diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in Moldova today is expected to live to 44.7, compared with 72.4 for a 10-year-old without T1D: 27.6 years of life lost. Counting years lived with complications as well, T1D costs 34.3 years of healthy life at today's level of care. If everyone received timely diagnosis, insulin and test strips, and insulin pumps and CGMs, that loss would fall to 14.8 years.
