Can children get type II diabetes?
In 2015, the European Association for the study of Diabetes in Stockholm, Sweden reported on a 3-year-old American Hispanic girl who was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. The family had a history of obesity, but not diabetes. The authors, Yafi, and Collins, (2015) wrote that the family had “poor family nutritional habits with uncontrolled counting of calories and fat” (p. 152). With proper lifestyle changes, a nutrition education and exercise routine, along with medication the child’s condition reversed. Within 6 months of starting this intervention the child’s medication was reduced and eventually no medication was needed. Currently, this is the youngest reported case of type II diabetes ever recorded according to Yafi, and Collins, (2015).
