“Diabetes among U.S. youths continued to rise from 2002 to 2015, especially for Asian children and teens,” researchers concluded after analyzing rates of “type 1 and type 2 diabetes among 5- to 19-year-olds.” The study revealed that “rates were generally higher in blacks and Hispanics than in whites,” and that “the rate in Asian/Pacific Islanders rose faster than in all other racial ethnic groups.” The findings were published in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. https://consumer.healthday.com/diabetes-information-10/misc-diabetes-news-181/diabetes-among-u-s-young-especially-asians-continues-to-climb-754804.html
