I think that probably the most likely reason for people with type 2 to develop complications more than people with type 1 is that they can live with type 2 diabetes for years and years and not know it. Often type 2 diabetes is diagnosed when complications have already started to show up.

In the case of type 1, we are all diagnosed within months of the time when our blood glucose levels start to rise above the "norm".
