Hi dear doctor, i'm a diabetes patient and it's type 2 but i'm 19 years old and how is that because diabetes type 2 it's for adult (elderly)?

Type 2 diabetes: Means you are still making Insulin but your muscles aren't responding to it anymore, so the sugar stays in your blood. It can happen at any age and is commonly linked to obesity. Loosing weight can help cure you of your type 2 diabetes, whereas there is no cure for type 1 diabetes. (type 1 is when your pancreas has self-destructed so to speak, and makes no Insulin anymore).

Mech.NotAgeTheIssue: Type i vs. Ii are about the mechanism of dm, not the person's age. Type ii can occur in infancy & becomes more common with ↑ing age. In type i, beta cells, which make insulin+amylin, die & person dies within a couple of weeks without insulin. In type ii, beta cells making super-normal amts insulin+amylin yet sugar still high; cells ↓response; internal protection to sugar overload. Study dietdoctor.

Can occur in young: Type 2 diabetes was once a condition that usually affected older individuals (40 and over - not really elderly. However due to increased number of people who are overweight or obese- and especially increase number of children or young people who are overweight... Type 2 diabetes is now diagnosed very early. You can ask your doctor to draw antibody levels to clarify type 1 versus type 2.
