There is an increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes among adolescents. In particular, the prevalence rate of diabetes mellitus patients aged 7-17 years in China ascended from 0.24% in 2002 to 0.52% in 2012. Although the incidence rate is not high, the growth rate is rapid. The main reason why the number of adolescents who suffer from T2DM has been continually rising is that the population of overweight and obese adolescents has been constantly expanding. Research also shows that poor dietary habits and genetic factors also play a crucial role in adolescent patients. As a result, obesity leads to insulin resistance——a condition in which the body’s cells find it hard to respond properly to the hormone insulin, and this is the core of type 2 diabetes. This paper points out the current epidemiological characteristics of adolescent T2DM, aiming to provide a reference for the current situation of adolescent T2DM by understanding the pathogenesis, risk factors and the prevention or treatment of adolescent T2DM.
