Summary
bull Numbers of youth lt numbers of adults but projected to continue to increase
bull Non-modifiable factors (puberty genetics epigenetics) and modifiable factors (obesity environmental social) contribute to the increase in youth T2D
bull Youth T2D is characterized by significant insulin resistance
bull -cell deficiency is evident early (even in obese NGT) progressively worsens
bull Treatment failure appears to be more rapid in youth versus adults
bull Microvascular complications and risk markers for macrovascular complications are present early and rapidly progress

Summary
bull Numbers of youth lt numbers of adults but projected to continue to increase

bull Youth T2D is characterized by significant insulin resistance
bull -cell deficiency is evident early (even in obese NGT) progressively worsens
bull Treatment failure appears to be more rapid in youth versus adults
bull Microvascular complications and risk markers for macrovascular complications are present early and rapidly progress

Summary
bull Numbers of youth lt numbers of adults but projected to continue to increase
bull Non-modifiable factors (puberty genetics epigenetics) and modifiable factors (obesity environmental social) contribute to the increase in youth T2D
bull Youth T2D is characterized by significant insulin resistance
bull -cell deficiency is evident early (even in obese NGT) progressively worsens
bull Treatment failure appears to be more rapid in youth versus adults
bull Microvascular complications and risk markers for macrovascular complications are present early and rapidly progress
