∙ 13y agoI am not 100% sure but I have read that it was called that because juvenile is relating to young people and type 1 diabetes is mainly diagnosed in children= it hadn't been discovered in adults until they started to. Why keep calling it a children's condition when adults get it too lol :)

∙ 11y agoI don't know where you heard that but it is completely false. Type 1 diabetics have the condition forever. You may be confused with type 2 diabetics who, if they don't properly manage their diabetes, may have to start injecting insulin (they are still type 2 though).
