How can i grow tall if i'm diabetic, type 1, and genetically short? i'm 18 but looks like a 5th grader. honestly.

Genetics: Our final height is generally determined by genetics. Once our growth plates fuse then we have achieved our final adult height. For women that tends to be between 14-16 yrs and for men it tends to be between 16-18 yrs of age. There are no supplements or herbals that can change that fact.
