I got it when I was 5, myself. &nbsp;People can develop it when older, but it's more common among younger kids. Type 2 is the type more associated with adults. &nbsp;The pancreas may still produce some insulin, but it's not enough for the body. &nbsp;The person may also have insulin resistance (and need more insulin to cover their needs, leading to increased weight gain - which is why many Type 2s are on oral meds) among other things.</p> <img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=141292" width="1" height="1">
