Yes. A person can develop type 1 Diabetes into the early '30s. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body destroys the insulin-producing parts of the pancreas. The person with type 1 diabetes will always need to take insulin by injection or by using an insulin pump. Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, is where a person continues to produce insulin but, for various reasons, his/her body does not use the insulin effectively, and blood glucose levels rise too high. Normal blood sugar range is 70 - 100. Symptoms of type 1 diabetes are: increased hunger because lack of insulin is not allowing glucose -- from broken down food -- to enter the cells; weight loss, increased thirst, increased urination, fatigue, and changes in vision. I have several endocrine auto-immune diseases, and the last one I developed was type 1 diabetes at age 32. I've since known other people who were as old when they first developed type 1 diabetes. Type 2 diabetics are typically overweight, which contributes to the disease. Only about 10 percent of all diabetics have type 1 diabetes, and they are usually not overweight.
