Incidence of Diabetes in Youth in the United States

Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in Kuwaiti Children and Adolescents: Results From the Childhood-Onset Diabetes Electronic Registry (CODeR)

“…This phenomenon is explained by the physiologic peak of insulin resistance that occurs during puberty in which insulin sensitivity decreases by around 30% (24, 25). Therefore, girls usually present with T2D earlier than boys, which is consistent with our findings (Table 2), (26, 27). T2D rarely occurs in pre-pubertal children as found in our study where only two patients (6.3%) presented below the age of 10 years (6.5 and 8.0 years, respectively) (26, 27).…”

Nevertheless, recent international reports suggest that the age of onset of T2D in children and adolescents occurs at an increasingly younger age.…”

Trends in the Incidence of Childhood Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in Beijing Based on Hospitalization Data from 1995 to 2010

“…The UE-IR of T1DM girls was higher than that of boys over a period of 16 years, which is consistent with our findings in the period of 1988-1996 [5] and international research data [15,16]. Some studies found no differences between genders [17,18,19] or the incidence in boys was higher than that in girls [20,21]. A high incidence in diabetes in girls may be one of the features of T1DM in China.…”

Increasing Incidence of Type 1 Diabetes in Youth

“…Similar to others’ findings (3,5), our data showed that the incidence rate for type 2 diabetes was higher in girls than boys and was highest in African American youth and lowest in non-Hispanic white youth. The rate of type 2 diabetes in Hispanic children was lower in Philadelphia than in the SEARCH registry possibly because of the difference in country of origin of the population or under-ascertainment of Hispanic children with diabetes in Philadelphia.…”
