Is It Normal For A 46 Year Old Diabetic Lady To Have Grey Hair?

Good day Doctor,

My wife is a diabetic patient though no longer suffering from it as she takes her drug regularly and has started avoiding sugary intakes but she has started growing grey hairs. She is just 46 years old. Is that normal for a woman of 46 years old?
