What is the outlook for people who have a diabetes-related stroke?
The outlook after stroke varies a lot from person to person. Depending on the type of stroke and its effects, recovery can take weeks to years. Some people have minor strokes and don’t experience any effects. Others have major strokes and lifelong disabilities.
Similarly, some people may be able to go home quickly after stroke treatment. But others may require time in the hospital or a long-term care facility (rehabilitation, also called rehab).
