Is the incidence of diabetes increasing?

0

A. Yes, especially among children, type 2 diabetes is becoming epidemic in what was traditionally an adult disease. Type 2 diabetes is the result of the body’s gradual resistance to insulin, often due to family history and chronically bad health habits, such as a high-fat diet and inactivity. Research has shown that the number of children with type 2 diabetes has tripled in the past 10 years.
