Insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity and diabetes in black children.
Historically, type 2 diabetes has been considered rare in the pediatric population. However, over the last decade, there has been a disturbing upswing in the rate of non-type 1 diabetes in the pediatric age group, particularly adolescents, with a greater proportion of Black children being affected. In this review, the following questions will be addressed: (1) what are the clinical characteristics of youth-onset atypical diabetes, (2) how common is it, (3) what are the risk factors, and (4) how should it be treated?
