Abstract: At the same time they are reporting the current obesity epidemic, US physicians are also seeing a dramatic increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in adolescent patients. In this article, Drs Laurencin, Goldschmidt, and Fisher summarize the prevalence and risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of type 2 diabetes in adolescents. They also offer interventional strategies for both lifestyle change and pharmacologic management.

Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed in many obese adolescents, and these patients experience retinopathy, nephropathy, and peripheral vascular disease at rates similar to those of their adult counterparts (1). At the time of diagnosis, more than half of these teenagers also present with one or more cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension or elevated lipid levels, that place them at high risk for metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and stroke, in young adulthood (2,3).

TYPE 2 DIABETES IN ADOLESCENTS How to recognize and treat this growing problem An integrated approach to help diabetic adolescents with changes in diet … and family adaptations, and drug therapy.

Product Description
Increasing numbers of people with type 1 diabetes, all of whose lives depend on insulin, as well as type 2 diabetics, have already adopted the insulin pump, which replaces a regimen of insulin shots with a continuous delivery of insulin. Yet many who stand to benefit from “the pump” are put off by not fully understanding the device, and many already using it don’t have anyone with whom to compare notes about its use. Now Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer, who has used the pump for more than three years, cuts through common personal fears about the pump and offers insight into the day-to-day challenges—and rewards—of life with it. Drawing on interviews with more than seventy-five pump users, including Nicole Johnson, Miss America 1999, as well as diabetes experts and other health professionals, Kaplan-Mayer discusses how the pump affects your sex life, dealing with money issues, finding support, counting carbohydrates, and much more. Insulin Pump Therapy Demystified offers knowledgeable, informative, reassuring advice that all pump users—current and future—will find extremely valuable. Charts and tables add to this valuable insider’s guide.
