Can obese young adults develop type 1 diabetes?

Q. Can an obese young adult develop type 1 diabetes and not type 2? I've read unexpected weight loss is a symptom of type 1, so can an obese young adult losing weight without effort and with other diabetes symptoms get type 1?

A. It is possible. Type I diabetes is an autoimmune disease, so it is possible to occur at any age, especially if you have a family history of it.


How to lose weight and avoid diabetes?
Q. My sister is 24 and obese. Her doctor says she has developed a few signs of pre-diabetes. How can she lose weight in a way that will also get rid of pre-diabetes symptoms?? I am very worried about her, please help.
Wow, Susan. Thanks for your insensitive answer.

A. Portion control. Exercise. That would save her. Eat or drink no sugars, except special occasions.
More fiber. These are the top things to save her. Move more, eat less.

How to lose weight if you have type 1 diabetes?
Q. I have heard that insulin can make you gain weight. Am i right? But i have also seen diabetics that are as skinny as a twig. At one point, i was like that but it was because of the diabetes symptoms. i want to be like that again but in a healthier way. i am not saying i am fat but i'm not at the weight i want to be at. How can i get my weight back down?

A. your best bet is diabetes uncut.

they have a fat loss report which iv used
to lose weight. yes he talks about insulin making
you fat and how to stop it.

took me about a week to actually feel less fat.


The moment you get diabetes, how long would it take exactly for things to get really serious?
Q. And would would be the fourthcoming signs that things will get serious. I've been looking at diabetes symptoms and just realised that the BIG main symptoms match the symptoms I've had for about 3 years now. And I don't think i've been aware all this time.

So I've booked a blood test tommorow, if it is diabetes, then am I just really lucky that I'm not dead?

A. Can't really give you a specific number for that question because diabetes sometimes goes undiagnosed for a few years. Sometimes people have no idea they have diabetes and they don't go to the doctor's office at all. So you could get a diagnosis of diabetes like 5 years after you actually had it.

Anyways, assuming you do get your diagnosis of diabetes in a timely manner, it's still hard to say how long to develop complications because each person's body is different, and also it depends on how well you'll manage your diabetes. i.e. keeping your blood sugar down, eating healthy, etc.

Serious complications include kidney failure, retinopathy (eye problems), and neuropathy (nerve problems).

Keep in mind that having diabetes isn't the end of the world. In fact, many people live with diabetes every day. You can still live a long normal life with diabetes as long as you eat healthily and live a healthy life style and stuff.
