A member asked:

Have symptoms of diabetes, sugar level is 6.2 fasting.up to 7 .1 after meal (2hrs) have graves' disease.healthy & fit. can adults get type 1 diabetes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusing question: The standard reporting of blood sugar results are in mg/dl.Your stated values are obviously in some other system because that level is incompatible with alertness/ life. Type 1 DM is due to loss of insulin production capability.It could happen at any age, but rarely does in older adults.When it does, the patient can lose 10 lb/week while eating almost continuously.
