Abstract:
The rise in type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents is occurring at a rapid rate. Screening for at risk individuals beginning at or around age 10 and treatment in the phase of insulin resistance is recommended as a prevention measure. For those with overt type 2 diabetes, attention to overall glucose control, prevention of micro- and macro-vascular complications, and assessment of lipids and blood pressure are necessary, along with close monitoring of medication side effects, especially of medications not traditionally used in pediatrics.
