The medical community faces an emerging epidemic of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in children and adolescents with a disproportionate increase among certain ethnic groups. T2DM represents one arm of the metabolic syndrome and parallels an increasing prevalence of obesity. The metabolic syndrome includes insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension with a consequent risk of early cardiovascular disease. Thus, treatment of T2DM and the metabolic syndrome pose a challenge for pediatric endocrinologists and represent an enormous public health issue. This review presents information about the treatment of childhood T2DM.
医学界面临着儿童和青少年2型糖尿病(T2DM)的新流行,在某些种族群体中其增长比例不均衡。T2DM是代谢综合征的一部分,与肥胖患病率的上升同时出现。代谢综合征包括胰岛素抵抗、高脂血症和高血压,随之而来的是早期心血管疾病的风险。因此,T2DM和代谢综合征的治疗对儿科内分泌学家构成了挑战,也是一个巨大的公共卫生问题。本综述介绍了有关儿童T2DM治疗的信息。
