Three-Year-Old US Girl Diagnosed With T2D.

reports that case details of a three-year-old US Hispanic girl diagnosed with type 2 diabetes will be presented today at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. While it remains unclear if this is the youngest T2D patient in the world, the study’s presenter, Michael Yafi, MD, director of pediatric endocrinology at the University of Texas-Houston, pointed out that his own research on the subject has not yet found any other similar cases of T2D in a child so young, but he surmised that others may indeed exist. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/09/16/us-health-diabetes-toddler-idUSKCN0RG2YF20150916
