Where this comes from

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes is no longer an adult-only disease but, sadly, has become an established entity in youth. Globally, an estimated 41,600 youth are newly diagnosed every year.<sup>1</sup> Underrepresented groups, migrants, and youth of lower socioeconomic status are disproportionately affected. While incidence rates are rising steeply in almost all populations, annual increases in several non-White racial populations now surpass those of type 1 diabetes.<sup>1</sup>.
