Abstract

Despite having very different underlying etiologies, an unfortunate similarity between Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the ongoing increase in incidence and prevalence in youth in both types of diabetes over the past several decades. This mini-review highlights recent studies documenting the increases in T1D and T2D in the US and worldwide. These trends underscore the need for healthcare providers and families to have a low index of suspicion for diabetes, as well as the ongoing need for improved means of preventing and treating diabetes in youth.
