Type 1 diabetes is most commonly diagnosed in children and young adults, but it can develop at any age, including in your 30s.
Here are some key points to understand:
- Typical Onset: Usually appears in childhood or adolescence, but adult-onset type 1 diabetes is recognized.
- Symptoms: Sudden symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, and fatigue can occur regardless of age.
- Diagnosis: If you have symptoms or risk factors, your doctor may perform blood tests to check for type 1 diabetes.
- Differences from Type 2: Type 2 diabetes is more common in adults and linked to lifestyle factors, but type 1 is an autoimmune condition.
If you have concerns about diabetes or symptoms, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance. Early diagnosis and management are key to maintaining good health.
