600-plus children and teens now have Type 2 diabetes as cases soar The number of children and teenagers with Type 2 diabetes has risen 14 per cent in a single year amid a “hugely disturbing trend” in youth obesity.
New figures reveal more than 600 young people were suffering from the condition last year, the majority of whom are aged 15 to 19.
The data from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) also showed that eight in ten of those with the illness, which was unheard of among children 18 years ago, were clinically obese. The Daily Telegraph
