Prevalence of glucose metabolism disorders in a cohort of children and adolescents with obesity.
2020
: Historically type 2 diabetes (T2DM) was considered a disease affecting adults only. Over the last 30 years, concurrent to a significant increase of childhood obesity, abnormalities in glucose metabolism, including impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and even T2DM are more often diagnosed in children and adolescents [1]. This rise in the incidence of abnormalities in glucose metabolism raises challenges in the area of diagnostics and treatment.
