Type 2 diabetes used to be known as "adult onset" diabetes, occurring most often in people 40 year or older. Rising childhood obesity rates in recent years have caused a corresponding increase in previously "adult only" conditions. Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, insulin resistance as well as sleep apnea and gallbladder problems are found more often in overweight and obese kids than ever before.
