The prevalence of type 2 diabetes in pediatric patients is steadily increasing, and the problem is likely to be even greater than presently appreciated, because of the usual lack of symptoms or signs leading to suspicion of diabetes in these patients. Type 2 Diabetes in Children and Adolescents helps make those signs more clear, outlining the clinical manifestations of onset in the young. The authors also take a global view, exploring how the disease presents in different countries. This book will appeal to diabetologists, diabetes nurse specialists, pediatricians, dieticians, and all health care professionals who treat children and adolescents.
