Which type of diabetes begins in childhood or adolescence?
The first type of diabetes, Type 1 diabetes (formerly called juvenile diabetes), is usually first recognized in children or adolescents and is generally not preventable. In this type of diabetes, the pancreas stops producing insulin or produces very little. This is the most serious type and requires daily insulin treatment for life to be sustained. About 10% of people with diabetes have this type.
What age do most people get type diabetes and what age do it end?
Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed as either a child or teenager (more rarely, as a young adult). Very few people ever develop Type 1 diabetes after about age 25. Type 2 diabetes typically has an onset around middle age, normally sometime in one's 40s or 50s, though in one's 30s is becoming more common with the increased population obesity rate.

Well, diabetes happens when your pancreas stops working. When you have Type 1 Diabetes (like me), your pancreas makes no insulin at all. Most people take shots or use an insulin pump. Type 1 Diabetes can not go away. This type usually happens in children. Type 2 Diabetes usually happens in adults. Sometimes Type 2 Diabetes can go away. Most people who have Type 2 can lose weight to end their Diabetes. Most people with this usually take pills instead of shots. :) Hope this helps... :P

There is no age cutoff. I developed Type 1 diabetes at age 59. Juvenile diabetes is a misnomer. Type 1 diabetes means that your pancreas is not secreting insulin. It's more complex, but that's the simple answer.
