A member asked:
Is it possible for an obese young adult to get type 1 diabetes and not type 2?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sure: It could happen if you have the genetics for type one. It is possible also to get both, if you eat poorly. Eventually the poor lifestyle will lead to type two in addition to the type one.
