Abstract

While Type 2 Diabetes in childhood has become increasingly prevalent throughout the world, in our service we found that only 2% (7/320) of children and adolescents with diabetes aged <16 years had type 2 diabetes. All type 2 subjects were overweight or obese and six of seven were non-Caucasian. Mean age at presentation was 12.8 years. Six patients (85%) had complications, most commonly hypertension. Although Type 2 Diabetes in children remains relatively rare in our cohort, identification of these children is important as management differs from Type 1 Diabetes.

摘要

虽然儿童2型糖尿病在全球范围内日益普遍，但在我们的服务中发现，年龄小于16岁的糖尿病儿童和青少年中只有2%（7/320）患有2型糖尿病。所有2型糖尿病患者均超重或肥胖，7人中有6人为非白种人。就诊时的平均年龄为12.8岁。6名患者（85%）有并发症，最常见的是高血压。虽然在我们的队列中儿童2型糖尿病仍然相对少见，但识别这些儿童很重要，因为其治疗方法与1型糖尿病不同。
