Robert Lustig: Alarming Surge in Childhood Diabetes: Rising Rates of Type 2 Among Youth
Robert Lustig presents alarming increases in type 2 diabetes prevalence: he contrasts 1975 (2.5% prevalence in adults over 65 and near-zero under 65) with current figures (9.4% of adults over 20) and states that one third of childhood diabetes diagnoses are now type 2. He argues common medical-school teachings that type 2 is an untreatable, purely genetic, progressive disease are now incorrect.
