Abstract
Developing diabetes at a young age carries substantial risks of experiencing both microvascular and cardiovascular complications later in life. As the number of people developing type 2 diabetes at younger ages starts to rise, studies are beginning to reveal the considerable risk to which such individuals are exposed. If asked which diabetes type is more harmful in younger people, we expect that many healthcare professionals would choose type 1 diabetes because they know that it is a condition caused by pancreatic beta cell failure that requires insulin injections. Yet, in terms of the risk of complications, the opposite seems to be true.
