TI  - The Frequency of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among Diabetic Children in El Minia 
      Governorate, Egypt.
PG  - 399-403
AB  - OBJECTIVES: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children and adolescents is 
      becoming an increasingly important public health concern throughout the world. 
      This study aimed to estimate the frequency of T2DM among diabetic young people in 
      El-Minia Governorate, Egypt, and to detect its risk factors. METHODS: A total of 
      210 diabetic patients under 18 years old in Minia Governorate were included in 
      the study and underwent a thorough history-taking, a physical examination and 
      laboratory investigations. RESULTS: T2DM was present in 28 patients (13.3%); it 
      was significantly present in 18 females (64.3%) and 20 (71.4%) of them had a 
      positive family history of DM. T2DM patients had significantly higher BMI and 
      waist circumference centiles for age and sex than those with T1DM. Also, 
      haemoglobin A1c %, serum C-peptide and cholesterol levels were significantly 
      higher in T2DM than T1DM patients. Finally, there were weak significant positive 
      correlations between C-peptide level and both BMI and waist circumference. 
      CONCLUSION: T2DM is no longer a disease of adults but can also occur in children 
      and adolescents. The results suggested that obesity, female gender and a positive 
      family history of DM are risk factors for T2DM. Also, patients with T2DM had 
      poorer glycaemic control and hypercholesterolemia than those with other types of 
      diabetes.
