U.S. markets recover from steep losses
LONDON, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- The number of British children with type 2 diabetes, which normally presents in middle-aged people, has risen ten-fold in the past five years.
The Royal College of Pediatrics carried out a national audit of all National Health Services diagnoses of Type 2 diabetes in teens under age 16, reported the Sunday Telegraph.
Some experts say the increase may be understated because many parents may not realize their seriously overweight children are showing the early signs of diabetes.
Liam Donaldson, Britain's chief medical officer, has warned that the rising obesity level will result in some children dying before their parents.
An estimated 60,000 children may be suffering from metabolic syndrome -- high blood pressure, raised cholesterol and increased fats in the blood.
Type 2 diabetes usually occurs later in life, as opposed to type 1 diabetes which is caused by the body's failure to produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar.
