This is so easily fixed through proper diet. After reading this article watch the video that is posted below it.
Nearly one in four American adolescents may be on the verge of
developing Type 2 diabetes or could already be diabetic, representing a
sharp increase in the disease’s prevalence among children ages 12 to 19
since a decade ago, when it was estimated that fewer than one in 10 were
at risk for or had diabetes, according to a new study.
This worsening of the problem is worrying in light of recently published findings that the disease progresses more rapidly in children than in adults and is harder to treat, experts said.
The study, published online on Monday in the journal Pediatrics, analyzes data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey,
which has a nationally representative sample. While it confirmed that
teenage obesity and overweight rates had leveled off in recent years and
that teenage rates of high blood pressure and high cholesterol had not
changed greatly, it found that the percentage of teenagers testing
positive for diabetes and prediabetes had nearly tripled to 23 percent
in 2007-8 from 9 percent in 1999-2000.
Researchers said the data
should be interpreted with caution because the prediabetes and diabetes
status of the adolescents was based on a single test of each
participant’s fasting blood glucose level, which could be unreliable in
children if they had not fasted for at least 8 hours before taking the
test. In addition, children this age are going through puberty, a
process that induces insulin resistance.
