A. lybrate-user, Diabetes can occur at any age. In case of Type 2 diabetes, it can be seen coming form late teens to any age after that. Most importantly overweight and inactivity are major contributors for diabetes. You have BMI of 30 kgs/M2, which shows grade 1 obesity, that itself is the contributor for getting diabetes. Thanks.
