Sotomayor is near the end of her average life expectancy with Type I Diabetes.
Average life span for a female with type 1 diabetes is 68 years (13 years less than the average woman without type 1 diabetes).
My sister had diabetes. She had to take a lot of drugs to control her diabetes and eventually the drugs caused her kidneys to fail. She was on dialysis during the last year of her life. Her last year was just terrible to watch. She had three separate heart attacks, the last one killed her in February 2017. She was 62 years old.
