RE:Young Adults......This article totally misses the point about why the so called epidemic of type 2 diabetes in children and young adults is occurring. Just a couple of decades ago, type 2 diabetes was normally only found in older adults.
The reason it is now being shown so often in children is because of their obesity and lack of activity. That is what needs to be addressed. Far too many children and adults are obese because they eat too much and eat the wrong foods. A diet of fast food and high fat foods at home is not healthy.
We don't need to further study this epidemic of type 2 diabetes in younger people. We already know the main cause and that is obesity and poor diet. The issue of that needs to be tackled. Simply teach them and feed them proper nutrition and getting them out there and doing physical activities. Staring at the TV all day or on their other devices is not burning calories.
This article totally sidesteps what is already known. For most of the cases of type 2 diabetes in children the cause is simple - Fat kids = type 2 diabetes. Plain and simple. Type 1 diabetes in kids is a totally different disease with a different cause.
