Educational GapsThe growing pandemic of childhood obesity has led to marked increases in the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and has further complicated the differentiation between type 2 and type 1 DM because more children with type 1 DM are overweight at time of diagnosis. In addition, numerous studies have demonstrated beta-cell autoimmunity in children with type 2 DM. (1)Objectives After completing this article, readers should be able to:1. Differentiate between and understand the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and type 1 DM by recognizing underlying pathophysiologic characteristics, clinical features, and laboratory markers.2. Recognize the difficulty in distinguishing between type 2 and type 1 DM because of the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity.3. Understand the increased prevalence of type 2 DM in children and adolescents, especially among certain racial/ethnic groups.4. Recognize risk factors, appropriate screening, and diagnosis of type 2 DM, and understand the appropriate treatment for type 2 DM in the pediatric population.5. Recognize the comorbidities and complications associated with type 2 DM in children and adolescents and understand that these may be present at the time of diagnosis.
