LOS ANGELES - Prediabetes, the condition which ultimately leads to type 2 diabetes if not managed, is on the rise among American youth, according to a study published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics Monday.

About a quarter of young adults and a fifth of adolescents in the United States have prediabetes, a condition that causes blood sugar levels to be elevated, but not enough to warrant a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, and which places adolescents and young adults at an elevated risk of developing type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease.

These numbers have been rising over the past decade, and the new research found that prevalence reached an estimated 18 percent among adolescents (aged 12 to 18) and 24 percent among young adults (19 to 34).

A 2012 study predicted that the prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes in US adolescents is expected to quadruple in the next decades, so monitoring prediabetes incidence and prevalence rates is an important part of keeping America’s youngest demographic healthy.

"Until recently, young children and teens almost never got type 2 diabetes, which is why it used to be called adult-onset diabetes," according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Type 2 diabetes develops over years and has been linked to obesity, and it causes the body to become less responsive to insulin, which is responsible for regulating glucose levels in the bloodstream. Type 1 diabetes, by contrast, is an autoimmune condition which occurs when the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin, or doesn’t produce insulin at all, and it is the type most commonly associated with children.

Now, the CDC warns, some kids are developing type 2 diabetes as young as 10 years old, which the agency points out is closely related to the obesity epidemic. About one-third of all American youth are now overweight.

To get a better understanding of the trend, researchers performed a cross-functional analysis of the 2005-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), with a total participant pool of 5,786 American adolescents and young adults.

They found that prevalence of prediabetes was lower among adolescents than young adults, and additionally, that it was significantly higher in male versus female individuals and in those with obesity overall.

Obesity has long been linked to type 2 diabetes, and the findings of the current study reinforce this link — more than a quarter of obese adolescents and a third of young adults involved in the study were found to have prediabetes. By comparison, less than 17 percent of their normal-weight peers across both age groups were found to have prediabetes.

When it came to the gender split, male individuals were found to be almost twice as likely to have prediabetes. The prevalence of prediabetes in male adolescents was 22.5 percent compared to 13.4 percent of adolescent girls, while 29.1 percent of young men were found to be prediabetic compared to 18.8 percent of young women.

While the increase in incidence and prevalence among children is alarming, the number of adults with prediabetes is also deeply concerning — according to the CDC, 84 million Americans have prediabetes, but less than 10 percent are aware of it.

“The finding that a large proportion of adolescents and young adults with obesity already present glucose metabolism abnormalities is of great public health concern given the sharp increase in type 2 diabetes in adolescence,” the study’s authors said.

But many studies on the effectiveness of intervention methods among adult populations at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes have proven that the disease can be prevented or at least delayed with lifestyle modifications, such as changing diet and exercising regularly.

This presents hope that similar lifestyle interventions could reverse the trend of increasing numbers of prediabetic adolescents and young adults, but no such similar studies have been performed in the adolescent population.

The CDC says that kids who get type 2 diabetes are usually diagnosed in their early teens, and this is “an important reason to help your kids take charge of their health while they’re young.”

They eat a lot of sugary foods no? Their portions are much bigger.

2 years ane limit kaadu... Once this becomes epidemic, it will change.  Atleast, affected people ayite changes start chestaaru....

Candy and Sugar are not the cause for Diabetes....  Over intake and sedentary life style are the causes...

Don’t candy and sugar cause temporary spikes in insulin and overtime the body develops resistance to insulin and there by resulting in the onset of diabetes?

A person with no history of diabetes in their family, develops insulin resistance only due to sedentary lifestyle. Generally, everyday calories in = calories out ayite insulin resistance develop avvadu, unless there is history of diabetes in his family.

By you logic active people and good family history will never develop diabetes. However, there are many cases where diet has played a role in type 2 diabetes. 

Insulin and other hormones control the amount of glucose in your bloodstream. Your pancreas is always releasing small amounts of insulin. When the amount of glucose in your blood rises to a certain level, the pancreas will release more insulin to push more glucose into the cells. This causes the glucose levels in the blood (blood glucose levels) to drop.

To keep blood glucose levels from getting too low (hypoglycemia or low blood sugar), your body signals you to eat and releases some glucose from the stores kept in the liver. It also tells the body to release less insulin..

People with diabetes either don't make insulin or their body's cells can no longer use their insulin. This leads to high blood sugars. By definition, diabetes

Nenu  "Absolute" statement emi ivvaledu.  Simple statement ichanu to make it easy to understand. 

I agree diet has played a role in Type II. Likewise, having active lifestyle reduced/delayed the onset.

Diabetes is a Metabolic Syndrome... Ineffective pancreas, insulin resistance, kidney failure, blood sugar raise, neuropathy are just symptoms of it.  No one yet knows the real/specific reason for this metabolic syndrome nor its cure.
