AB  - School nurses play an important role in identifying students who are at risk for 
      Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Few studies have screened Caucasian students, 
      and none have targeted rural, low-income, elementary children. The five 
      noninvasive risk factors used for this study were family history, high body mass 
      index (BMI) for age/sex, racial/ethnic background, hypertension, and acanthosis 
      nigricans. Two thirds of those screened (n = 299) had at least one of the five 
      risk factors for T2DM. Seventeen students (5.6% of those screened) had three or 
      more of the five risk factors and were considered at risk for T2DM. Fifteen 
      percent (n = 43) had hypertension or prehypertension, and 18% (n = 53) were 
      morbidly obese. Hypertension and acanthosis nigricans were significantly 
      associated with being at risk in morbidly obese students. School nurses play an 
      important role as frontline health professionals who are aware that risk factors 
      for T2DM exist in all schools, regardless of students' age, size of community, or 
      ethnic background.
