The epidemiology of diabetes in children and adolescents is changing, which carries profound implications for how clinicians screen, assess, and manage the world-wide epidemic of this chronic disease. Over the past few years, as the incidence of childhood obesity has dramatically increased, so has the emergence of Type 2 diabetes in young people, as well as the incidence of diabetic diagnoses anomalies that do not conform to the standard type1 or type 2 classification models. This book address this critical paradigm shift, and offer insights and recommendations as to how clinicians can better care for this growing patient population.
