Given*the dramatic rise in childhoood obesity in*The United States*and the associated ailments that come along with the increase in this condition, this week’s American Diabetes Wholesale Newsletter (http://destinationdiabetes.americandiabeteswholesale.com/Newsletter-Archives/How-Children-Could-Avoid-Type-2-Diabetes)*is right on time. In it, Roberta Kleinman, RN (http://destinationdiabetes.americandiabeteswholesale.com/Advisors/Roberta-B-Kleinman)(our own “Nurse Robbie”) gives us a glimpse into the width and breadth of this childhood malady that is reaching near-epidemic proportions, without the usual accompanying “scare tactics” that always seem to come along*with discussions of this topic.
“Since 1990, type 2 diabetes has doubled in the children/adolescents population.”
“About 2 million adolescents ages 12-19 years old have pre-diabetes.”
“What is more alarming is much of the obesity, type 2 diabetes, early onset of cardiovascular disease and other child health issues IS PREVENTABLE.”
Nurse Robbie’s*discussion is filled with some eye-opening statistics, true enough, but she also leaves us*with*some hope as well, giving some great advice and recommendations for prevention of type 2 diabetes in children.
