A new modeling study is raising alarm bells after finding that the number of young people in the United States with diabetes will increase by nearly 700% over the next 40 years.
The authors of the study predicted there might be 220,000 people under the age of 20 with Type 2 diabetes in the year 2060 — an increase of about 675% from the number of young people with type 2 diabetes in 2017.
