Type 2 & other diabetes

Incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Manitoba children 2009–10 to 2017–18: First Nation versus all other Manitobans

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Population-based cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing in Manitoban children. While the greatest increase is seen in all other Manitoban children, type 2 diabetes disproportionally affects First Nation children. Understanding the prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes in children is necessary for resource allocation and to inform program planning, aimed at both prevention and management.
