How Could Heart Attack From Type 1 LAD Effect Life Expectancy?

I had a heart attack at age 39 from untreated type 1 LAD. ( I did not know I had type 1, and suffered from DKA)
I am now over 40 and I am doing well. My BGL is under control for the most part, and I try to keep active.
How will this impact my life expectancy?
