I won't try to answer your question directly but I'll tell you what happened to me and let you make up your own mind. I developed type 2 diabetes probably by my mid-20's but because I generally felt OK I never bothered to go to a doctor so I didn't find out about it until my late 30's. By that time a lot of irreversible damage had been done and today in my early 50's I'm disabled with chronic fatigue and a leg amputation. I'm also deaf in one ear and had a stroke a couple of years ago, which luckily doesn't seem to have made things much worse. I do think it's likely that if I had found out about the diabetes when I was young and treated it I would be in a much better situation today.
