Abstract
Type 2 diabetes was found only in middle age or older adults. But now a day, increase in obesity in children, type 2 diabetes is increasing in young people. Age remains the single most significant risk factor for diabetes among growing children. 2048 children were undergone questionnaire and dietary survey and health examination. The highest prevalence of impaired glucose level was observed in 15–17 years of age groups i.e. 37.5% and diabetics were more in 12–14 years i.e. 43.48%. The lowest incidence rate was detected in 9–11 years of age group. Number of children >17 was very less and most of them not participated in the study. Incidence rate for impaired glucose level and diabetic children in different age groups is highly significant in all age groups. Children who were at the risk of overweight/overweight were more in age group 12–14 years. Increased growth hormone secretion in puberty is responsible for the insulin resistance during puberty.
