| Abstract: | Type 2 diabetes is increasingly prevalent in children and adolescents. This chapter on type 2 diabetes in youth is from a handbook of the CORE Curriculum, a publication that helps educators prepare for the Certified Diabetes Educators (CDE) exam, serves as a key reference for the Advanced Diabetes Management credential exam, and provides an authoritative source of information for diabetes education, training, and management. This chapter covers the diagnostic criteria for type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents; the screening criteria for this population; the unique characteristics of type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents; insulin resistance and associated clinical findings; the goals of self management training for youth with type 2 diabetes; nutrition therapy and physical activity plans for this population; drug therapy and monitoring recommendations; the psychosocial issues associated with type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents; and the role of the family and caregivers in the treatment of type 2 diabetes in these children and adolescents. The chapter includes an introduction, a list of learning objectives, key definitions (glossary), key educational considerations, self review questions, references, and a post-test (including an answer key). 9 figures. 3 tables. 28 references. |
