There have been recent studies that have created a gray area between the
two regarding age and developing
diabetes. It was generally thought that
type 2 was always assumed to strike people who were older, well into adulthood. While I am sure more research needs to be done, I have heard reports with our children being less active because of our lifestyle and fast foods, obesity in children is rising and some as young as 13 are being diagnosed with type 2.
I hope this helps.
