AB A study of the medical records of 1027 consecutive pediatric patients from birth to age 19 years found that the number with a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rose from approximately 4% before 1992 to 16% in 1994 [Pinhas-Hamiel O et al. J Pediatr 1996], and the trend has only accelerated over time.
