at what age type 1 diabetes normally happens?
Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age, but it is most commonly diagnosed in children, adolescents, and young adults. The traditional perception of type 1 diabetes occurring only in childhood is not accurate, as adults can also develop this form of diabetes. The age of onset is often under 35 years, and among children, it's prevalent in those aged 5-15 years[1][2].
Moreover, adult-onset type 1 diabetes can sometimes present with less typical symptoms, and the progression may vary significantly compared to childhood onset[1][2].
