Yes: Type 1diabetes is very common in that age group and is not related to one's weight. Type 2 diabetes would be unlikely since it usually happens to people who are overweight or obese, however since it is genetically transmitted to most people it is possible to have normal weight and get type two diabetes it's just not very common. It's always best to see your doctor to do proper testing to distinguish between the two types.
