What Will Be The Life Span Of Sever Diabetic Patient?
my brother in law hs been on dialisis for 5years he had a leg amputated, now his other leg and fingers had gangrene, he lost his hearing. I don t think he has much time. He is in the hopital and the doctors ate watching him closely and want him to be comfortable. How long do you think he has?

Hi, life cannot be predicted without knowing the complete actual status. Looking at the information you provided I can tell that he is in bad condition. Management of his sugar levels along with good care and dialysis may improve his condition.
I hope this information helps you.
