| Adult onset Type 1 has become a lot more common in recent decades. Ask me how I know. |

| I don’t know how adult 22 is considered but yeah. A younger sibling got it when they were ~13. When we noticed the signs and went into the ER a few of the (younger) doctors thought it was Type 2, while the attending knew it was just late onset Type 1. |

| Just like a ton of other autoimmune diseases. |

| It's so rare in adults it's got the cute name maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY). |
| |
| ▲ | epcoa 21 hours ago | parent [-] | | MODY is something else entirely (a genetic mutation driven disease with distinct pathophysiology from Type 1). What’s being discussed here is LADA (late autoimmune diabetes in adults).
LADA itself isn’t that rare but it is a small minority of all cases of diabetes in older adults. |

| Know someone who developed type 1 diabetes in his 30s. |
| |
| ▲ | jamiek88 a day ago | parent [-] | | Same. At first he was happy as he lost a load of weight, then it kept happening and he nearly died in the office. Just collapsed one day. Insulin is an amazing invention. My dog, a little pug, gets porcine insulin after prednisone saved her life but gave her type 1. |
