It is increasing parallelly with the obesity epidemic. Hence, it is quite evident that the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is escalating not only in the affluent groups of society but also in the middle and lower socioeconomic sections as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the nation currently housing most of the youth, it is vital to pay attention to this epidemic. In India, youth living with type 2 diabetes blend with monogenic forms of diabetes such as malnutrition-modulated, fibrocalculous pancreatic, and maturity-onset diabetes, all of which are ketosis-resistant forms of youth-onset diabetes. Early monitoring can help in the early detection of youth-onset type 2 diabetes and the prevention of its complications. Another way that will help in primary prevention is the involvement of government and non-governmental agencies to focus on healthier lifestyles among children.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1272711112.jpg\" alt=\"Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes \" class=\"wp-image-6868\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_Leading_to_the_Emergence_of_Type_1_and_Type_2_Diabetes\"><\/span><strong>Factors Leading to the Emergence of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas produces insulin, but the body becomes resistant and is unable to make use of it. This is why there is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/diabetic-diet-chart-a-complete-guide-to-control-diabetes\/\">increase in the sugar levels of a Type-2 diabetic<\/a>. However, the factors that lead to this can be many, ranging from diet and obesity to genetic history. In such cases, the pancreas is functioning properly and hence making more insulin, but since the body is unable to use it, the organ eventually wears out. In some cases, it stops producing insulin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The escalating rate of obesity amongst kids is cited as the primary reason for the sudden spike in pediatric type 2 diabetes cases. In fact, studies estimate every 1 in 5 school-age children is obese. However, obesity isn\u2019t the only factor in the rise in childhood type 2 diabetes cases. The other factors could be gestational diabetes, less activity time for children, and changes in food habits.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1562643445.jpg\" alt=\"youth day\" class=\"wp-image-6867\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Future_of_the_Diabetes_Generation\"><\/span><strong>The Future of the Diabetes Generation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies have indicated that having type 2 diabetes increases the risk of eye damage, nerve damage, kidney failure, and a number of other problems. For instance, if a 10-year-old child is diagnosed with diabetes and does not take care of it, the chances of eye and kidney damage are significantly higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-term diabetes can damage the eyes and lead to diabetic retinopathy. <a href=\"https:\/\/pages.beatoapp.com\/retinopathy-v2\/?utm_source=SEO_Blog_YouthDiabetes&amp;utm_campaign=July\">Get your eyes tested.<\/a> Early detection and treatment can save you from blindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research has seen an increase in&nbsp;<strong>microalbuminuria<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014a protein found in urine \u2014 indicating an increased risk of heart and kidney disease.
