Childhood obesity is putting many
children at risk for what were
formerly considered "grown-up"
diseases. Insulin resistance -- historically
a condition found in adults and teenagers
-- now affects children as young as 4 and
5 years old."Children who are overweight, obese or have a family history of diabetes are developing type 2 diabetes much younger than ever," says Kimberly Minesinger, DO, family care practitioner.
