Children’s diabetes risk on the rise - Children’s diabetes risk on the rise
Illeana Bargas, M.D.,
physician at the Naomi
Berrie Diabetes Center in
New York City, warns that
an alarming number of
children are being
diagnosed for Type II
(adult onset) diabetes.
Bargas says that the cause of
this rise is obvious—today
one in five children is obese,
and the number has grown
22 percent in the last fifteen
years. Obesity, inactivity and
poor diet are all associated
with the development of type
II diabetes, because they all
can affect the function of
blood sugar metabolism.
Many health care professionals
feel that Type II diabetes
can be prevented by improving
diet and engaging in
more physical activity. T
