Isn't type 2 the one that effects massively more people?
Iirc type 2 is acquired diabetes, type 1 is the one you get from birth, so yes.
A lot of people actually don't get diabetes type 1 when they are born but later in life
It’s adult onset diabetes, just means it didn’t appear during childhood. A lot of people think type 2 is “fat American diet” diabetes but for many of us it’s a genetic condition and typically manifests in the mid 30s regardless of diet. You don’t necessarily become insulin dependent immediately but it’s likely you will progress there
