If you don't mind me asking, are you over weight? I heard that's a big causer of Diabetes. Although, I'm not 100% sure.

It would depend. Some people can stay diet controlled for decades. It will depend on how closely the person follows a diabetic regimen. Other health problems may factor in as well. There's really no set time frame that I've ever heard of.

Oh i don't know if i have it i just have a few symptoms that matches it. And i Don't like Meds/Doctors so i was just wondering how long some one would be able to go with out medical attention.
