And further to that, can, as in might happen, might not happen at all. Just to make that clear, it's not some kind of common inevitability. While being positive and hoping nothing untoward would happen for a very long time, I think the point is partly, that situations for diabetics can change. Another example, a complication might develop at some stage, making life tricky in other ways. Often a diabetic and those around them need to be ready to adapt to a new scenario.
