IF you keep your numbers good, you'll be fine and won't be any different than normal aging. If not, then its the silent killer for a reason.
Exercise, eat right, etc. Also, IMHO, don't be afraid of insulin. My only regret is not getting on insulin sooner. I was having a hard time controlling my sugar levels, but am good now. I travel a lot, and its hard staying 'good' when you're traveling for work.I'm cheating a bit here as I am 51 yrs old...but I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes after having several symptoms- excessive thirst, weight loss, fatigue. Should I expect to have ED problems at some point? Or is it a hit and miss side effect with the disease? So far the med and a diet change are working well as far as my numbers are concerned.
