- Summary:
- Previously regarded as a disease of adults, type 2 diabetes is now affecting increasingly younger populations worldwide. Its growing prevalence is intimately linked with the epidemic of obesity, and the major lifestyle and environmental changes brought about by modernization, industrialization, and globalization. The management of children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes is complex and poses unique problems to the clinician. Treatment may involve weight reduction, lifestyle modification, exercise programs, and medications to treat hyperglycemia. However, few of the drugs used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and even fewer of those used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease have been licensed for use in children and adolescents. Type 2 Diabetes in Childhood and Adolescence provides a comprehensive review of current research and developments. International experts address the interrelationship of diabetes, obesity, insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome; the spectrum of clinical features and diagnostic issues; the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and genetics of this disorder; and its treatment in children and adolescents.
