HI, I am 25 years old male, I got injured last year in a train derailment, doctors have done above knee amputation to save my life, doing so I got infection. I was on ventilator and undergone to second amputation, Now I'm completely fine going for prosthesis next month. I read some of blogs posted that "Amputees have shorter life span" and have to do hard exercises for a good life also do amputees have greater chances for diabetes? I have ectomorphic body type. Before amputation I was completely healthy, travels a lot and do exercises rarely.

Hello lybrate-user, I can understand your pain. But you should understand that all the diseases or the cause of any disease lies in out head, our thoughts and beliefs. It's simply just nonsense to judge someone's life span based on such things. If you are healthy in your mind and heart, nothing can happen to you. You have emerged more stronger after your accident. So be an ideal for those who suffer so much in their life and show that mere a disability can not stop you from living your life less than the so called normal people. If you keep your lifestyle healthy and active, you will hot have diabetes.
