How to tell if i have diabetes even if i am young and fit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Theoretically , yes: There are conditions that could be inherited or associated with autoimmune destruction of the pancreas that can cause diabetes at any age regardless of the physical status. Type 1 diabetes can often be seen in the very young as well.
