I think those with diabetes are most likely to die from a complication of having diabetes for many years. Like you said, unless it's from a hypo/hyper episode. So what I really don't understand is what would someone be classified as dying from if they had heart disease and diabetes. Heart disease is #1 on the list. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/lcod.htm Regardless, the numbers are scary and this disease is horrible. I just wonder how accurate the numbers are and what is behind the diabetes figures. Thank you for the comments! @ Rachel – scary indeed.

In the field I work in we always say "People die due to complications of diabetes". Now, if someone dies of a hypo wouldn't that be considered "dying of diabetes"? Tony-
