NICE guideline review: type 2 diabetes in children and young people – diagnosis and management (NG18)

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is becoming progressively more common among young people concomitantly with the epidemic of childhood obesity (1). The incidence of youth-onset T2D is projected to rise by >600% by 2060 (2) and the UK has the fastest increase in incidence rate globally (3). Compared with type 1 diabetes (T1D), youth-onset T2D is associated with higher rates and earlier onset of complications and a 50% higher mortality rate (1). Appropriate intervention is therefore key to improve outcomes (4).
