I have a friend who's father died from diabetes Type I in his early 60's. My friend has been on Metformin for years on end as a Type II diabetic but he's closing in on Type I, despite diet and exercise. It will happen eventually, if not soon, as his AIC is 7.4.
Those with Adult Onset/Type II diabetes can generally be reversed with weight loss, diet and exercise but if there's a family history of Diabetes Type I, the Type II could very likely become Type I as the person ages.

Not in my case....my mom was Type 2 late onset into her 60's when it started. And she is the only person in my family both on my paternal and maternal side.
My Dr has never said anything about this becoming Type 1
Not saying you aren't right Dane...just never been something that has been imparted to me.
