“…The higher incidence of type 1 diabetes in men compared with women among young adults is consistent with previous observations in Sweden [14], Italy [39] and Libya [40]. A slight male excess (ratio of men:women of 1.1) in the incidence of type 1 diabetes in children younger than 15 years in Finland has previously been reported [5].…”

“…In Finland, the incidence of type 2 diabetes is high, but rates are difficult to compare because most previous studies on the occurrence of type 2 diabetes among young adults are based upon prevalence rates or have been case studies. However, it would appear that the incidence of type 2 diabetes in young adults in Finland does not reach the levels reported by studies conducted in the USA [43] or Libya [40].…”

Aims/hypothesis The aim of this study was to examine the incidence and trends of type 1 and type 2 diabetes in the 15-39 year-old population between 1992 and 1996 in Finland. Subjects and methods Data on the nationwide incidence of diabetes were obtained from four data sources: standardised reports from diabetes nurses, the Finnish National Hospital Discharge Register, the Drug Reimbursement Register and the Drug Prescription Register. The inclusion criterion was consistency in the diagnosis of diabetes across at least two data sources. The sex-and age-specific incidence was calculated for 5-year age groups, both for type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The effects of age, sex and year of diagnosis were assessed by fitting the linear regression model to the incidence data. Results Between 1992 and 1996 the age-adjusted incidence of type 1 diabetes among 15-39 year olds was 15.9 per 100,000/year. The incidence was highest among the 15-19 year olds and decreased with age. Conversely, the incidence of type 2 diabetes was very low among 15-19 year olds and increased with age. The total age-adjusted incidence of type 2 diabetes among 15-39 year olds was 11.8 per 100,000/ year. The average annual increase in the incidence of type 2 diabetes was 7.9% (95% CI 3.7-12.2%). Conclusions/interpretation The age at which the Finnish population is at risk of type 1 diabetes extends into young adulthood. The rapid increase in the incidence of type 2 diabetes in the young adult population is a current public health problem.

“…Entre japoneses em idade escolar, a incidência elevou-se, em vinte anos, de 0,2 para 7,6 por 100 mil indivíduos 14 . Um estudo, envolvendo uma amostra da população Líbia, mostra incidências de 19,6 e 35,3 para 100 mil indivíduos (dos sexos masculino e feminino, respectivamente) 15 . Os estudos mostram que a idade média de diagnóstico se situa entre doze e quatorze anos 8.9 .…”

“…Os estudos mostram que a idade média de diagnóstico se situa entre doze e quatorze anos 8.9 . O sexo feminino, entre crianças, adolescentes e adultos jovens, mostrou-se mais suscetível ao risco de desenvolver o DM2 em praticamente todas as comunidades estudadas 8,14 , com exceção feita ao conjunto de indivíduos com idade inferior a 15 anos, pertencentes à população Líbia, onde ambos os sexos mostraram ter prevalência semelhante 15 .…”

Objective: the objective of this manuscript was to perform a critical review of epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis e treatment of T2DM in youth.Sources of data: this review is based on the relevant literature published. The sources available for the authors were integrated with sources identified through Medline database. The key words used for searching were "Type 2 Diabetes in the Youth" in the last ten years.Summary of the findings: the pathophysiology (altered betacell function and insulin resistance) of T2DM in youth is similar to adult's pathophysiology. Familiar Type 2 diabetes history, presence of obesity, acanthosis nigricans, high fasting plasma C-peptide levels and absence of islet-cell auto-antibodies are important clues to diagnostic the T2DM in youth. Five to 25% of these patients can present ketosis at diagnosis. Insulin therapy can be discontinued during the evolution. Compliance to diet and an exercise program essential aspects of the treatment of adolescents.Conclusion: as obesity in the young is currently increasing in several developed or developing countries, T2DM in the youth can be consider an emergent problem also in our population.

Diabetes mellitus (DM), is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels resulting from defects in inulin absorption over a prolonged period. This research was carried out to evaluate the management outcome in Type-1 diabetes adolescents in Calabar, Nigeria. Nineteen (19) diabetic adolescent patients attending selected clinics in Calabar and another 19 age-and-sex matched healthy adolescents were recruited for this research.Glycaemic control was assessed using fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels and Glycated haemoglobin concentration (HbAic%). Anthropometric parameters (height, weight, BMI) in adolescent Diabetes mellitus (DM) and control groups were also measured. Blood pressure in diabetic and control subjects were equally measured. Mean age of diabetic male and female were not statistically significant compared with male and female control groups.Average age of onset of illness in diabetic males and females were also not significant, and the same result was observed in duration of illness. Findings revealed that baseline fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycated haemoglobin (HbA IC %) values of the diabetic adolescents were significantly (P<0.001) higher than values in control group. There was a significant (P<0.01) decrees in anthropometric parameters of diabetics compared with controls.Significant negative correlation was observed between father's educational status and FBG (r= -0.546*) and negative correlation in glycated haemoglobin (HbA IC %) (r= -0.464*) levels in diabetic group. Glycated haemoglobin appeared to be a very dependable marker for diagnosis of diabetes mellitus in adolescents. Adolescent female diabetics have better management outcome compared to males. Combined therapy and insulin therapy resulted in improved glycaemic control and general wellbeing.
