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.

Know someone who developed type 1 diabetes in his 30s.

Just like a ton of other autoimmune diseases.
