 Sort of like being Whited?Yeah, anyone can get it. Type I diabetes, which is incorrectly called juvenile diabetes, can come on at any age even though it mostly turns up in children and young adults. It's an auto-immune disease in which the body attacks the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. 
 
 Type II diabetes can happen to anyone, but it tends to happen much more frequently to people who are obese and certain ethnic groups. Apple-shaped people get type II diabetes at much higher rates than pear-shaped ones. In type II diabetes, either the body doesn't produce enough insulin or the cells that use the insulin don't use it properly. Because of the obesity epidemic in this country, more and more people are being diagnosed with type II diabetes at younger and younger ages. This is a very bad thing.

 THCBongman, as fit and slender as you are, it's highly unlikely you have either type of diabetes, but you might as well have your blood glucose tested, especially if you have any symptoms.
