Elizabeth Mann, MD, a pediatric endocrinologist and director of the Type 2 diabetes program at UW Health Kids, said Type 2 diabetes cases among kids have been rising significantly the last few years.
“This trend is worrisome,” Dr. Mann said. “Increased rates of pediatric Type 2 diabetes were recognized before the pandemic, but the trend has accelerated since spring 2020.”
In 2018, 52 pediatric patients with new onset diabetes were admitted to American Family Children’s Hospital, with only three cases being Type 2 diabetes, while 1 in 6 admitted to the hospital with new onset diabetes had Type 2 this year, according to Dr. Mann.
