It is less common but certainly not unheard of. The oldest person I ever treated for new onset Type I diabetes was a 37 year old Air Force fighter pilot.

Ouch. That’s the end of one good career.

I presume they don’t let diabetics be fighter pilots.

I was diagnosed Type 1 at 37. No family history. Endo said I could have been zapped by a Gamma ray. I say it was my late nights in my early 20s and stress at work in my 30s.

My daughter was diagnosed Type 1 at 7 yo.
