Abstract
Diabetes in children is increasing in prevalence with obesity-associated insulin resistance being a major contributing factor. This report contains a comprehensive review of treatment paradigms regarding the management of diabetes in children. The information provided was collected from an extensive literature review on type 2 diabetes, and children and/or adolescents with diabetes and/or obesity treatment. There is a wide array of contributing factors to the development of diabetes and consequences that indicate the need to tailor treatment plans with reducing obesity as a primary outcome. Lipocentric treatment paradigms offer opportunity to reduce the impact of obesity.
