Sleep and Diabetes in Adolescents: A Battle between Physiology and Social Factors
Journal Title: Diabetes Research – Open Journal - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
About 200,000 of individuals under 20 years of age have been diagnosed with diabetes. Many of them have type 1 diabetes (T1D) but type 2 diabetes (T2D), a disease that used to be seen primarily in adults over age 45, is becoming more common in young people.1 Results from the ‘SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study’ released data showing that type 2 diabetes in 10 to 19-year-olds had increased 21% between 2001 and 2009. The study reported an increase among White, Black and Hispanic children.
