My cousin is diabetic but his is genetic and he looked this up and men under 30 are mostly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

Answer 2

The right answer is A. Type I diabetes

Type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes / juvenile diabetes) occurs most often during childhood, adolescence or early adulthood, rarely in older people. It affects about 10% of people with diabetes. It is characterized by the total absence of insulin production. The person with type 1 diabetes depends on daily insulin injections or an insulin pump to ensure his survival.
