Can overweight or obese children develop Type 2 Diabetes? In this video, Dr. Kartheek Nalluri, Consultant Pediatric Thyroid Specialist, Adolescent Endocrinologist, and Pediatric Diabetologist at Endo Kids, explains the connection between childhood obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
In recent years, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, childhood obesity has increased significantly around the world. Reduced physical activity, increased screen time, and frequent consumption of junk food, fast food, and sugary drinks are major reasons for weight gain in children.
Childhood obesity can lead to several health problems such as:
• Type 2 Diabetes in children
• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
• Hormonal imbalances
• Growth and metabolic disorders
Parents who notice rapid weight gain, fatigue, excessive thirst, or other unusual symptoms in children should consult a specialist for early diagnosis and proper treatment.
