TI  - Type 2 diabetes mellitus in young need for early screening.
PG  - 683-8
AB  - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has increased dramatically throughout the world 
      in recent years. This increase has also affected the young, such that over the 
      last decade, the rise in the number of children and youth with T2DM has been 
      labeled an epidemic. The main reason for this epidemic is the spurt in childhood 
      obesity worldwide. This is linked to the global economic growth and changes in 
      lifestyle and dietery habits. It is important that we recognize this epidemic of 
      T2DM early, and institute national and global measures to contain it. T2DM in 
      childhood can be controlled to a large extent through lifestyle modification 
      measures. It is important that we screen this disease condition, and identify the 
      at-risk cases.
