Abstract

A number of children and adolescents are at risk for complications and comorbidities of type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome. These complications and comorbidities are likely to present significant personal burdens and societal costs. The pediatrician should be aware of screening and interventions to lessen the effect of these risks on their patients. Societal-wide lifestyle changes are needed desperately to reduce the prevalence of these largely preventable diseases.
