SUMMARY: There are two common types of diabetes which may affect individuals, typically at different life stages. Type I diabetes, sometimes known as 'insulin dependent diabetes' or 'juvenile diabetes' is an inherited disease. Type II diabetes or non-insulin dependent diabetes was previously called 'adult-onset diabetes' because in the past it was typically diagnosed after age 40. However, with increasing levels of obesity and sedentary lifestyle, this disease is now being diagnosed among adolescents and sometimes in children as young as 10 and under. Research suggests that coffee drinking may be protective against the development of Type II diabetes, though further research is needed to fully understand the role of coffee in this disease. |
