Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by peripheral insulin resistance, leading to hyperglycemia. Once considered a predominantly adult disease, it has become a pressing concern in the field of pediatrics due to its rising incidence, mainly attributable to lifestyle factors and childhood obesity. This condition presents unique challenges in diagnosis, management, and long-term care compared to its type 1 counterpart, emphasizing the need for specialized knowledge and a patient-centered approach. Early screening, recognition, and treatment of children with type 2 diabetes are crucial for preventing long-term complications. This activity delves into the key aspects of pediatric type 2 diabetes, shedding light on its causes, diagnostic criteria, management strategies, and its broader impact on the health and well-being of affected children and adolescents. It also highlights the role of interprofessional team members in collaborating to provide well-coordinated care and enhance outcomes for affected patients.
