AB  - BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: The global increase in childhood obesity has in some 
      countries been followed by an increase in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); 
      however, the prevalence of T2DM among Danish children and adolescents is 
      currently unknown. The aims of this cross-sectional study were to determine the 
      prevalence of T2DM in children and adolescents in Denmark together with status on 
      treatment, metabolic control, and late diabetic complications. METHODS: 
      Individuals were identified in the Danish Registry for Diabetes in Children and 
      Adolescents (DanDiabKids), and clinical information regarding these was obtained 
      from the respective pediatric departments. RESULTS: In total, seven young 
      individuals (three boys) with T2DM were identified, according to the American 
      Diabetes Association (ADA)/International Society of Pediatric and Adolecent 
      Diabetes (ISPAD) guidelines, leading to a prevalence of T2DM at 0.6/100 000 
      inhabitants in Denmark. Only three of the patients had hyperglycemic symptoms at 
      diagnosis. One boy was overweight and six were obese (two boys). Currently, no 
      patients fulfill the treatment target of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) <7.0% 
      (53 mmol/mol) according to the guidelines for treatment of diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: 
      In 2014, there is no increasing prevalence of T2DM in children and adolescents in 
      Denmark. Nevertheless, the current treatment regimen is not satisfying, as none 
      of the patients truly fulfill the treatment target.
