Robert Lustig: The Rise of Type 2 Diabetes in Children—A Disease Once Reserved for Old Age #diabetes
Robert Lustig describes seeing the first pediatric case of type 2 diabetes around 1992 and reports that pediatric type 2 diabetes cases increased rapidly thereafter. He contrasts type 2 (previously an "old age" disease) with type 1 diabetes, noting type 1 prevalence rose from about 1 in 600 to 1 in 400 children (≈50% increase). He also mentions a personal connection: he did a medical-school report on type 2 because his grandfather had the disease.
