Type 2 Diabetes in the Pediatric Population : NIDDK

Type 2 Diabetes in the Pediatric Population

This program encompases research on the pathophysiology, prevention and treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in childrlen. Specific areas of support include studies:

To describe the epidemiology (incidence, prevalence, risk factors of Type 2 Diabetes and its complications in children
To develop diagnostic criteria to distinguish Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes in children
To define the metabolic abnormalities (and the natural history of such abnormalities) in children with Type 2 Diabetes
To develop practical, effective strategies for the prevention and/or treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in children
To understand the basis for race/ethnic disparities in the incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in the pediatric population

For more information, contact Dr. Barbara L. Linder, Senior Advisor for Childhood Diabetes Research.
