摘要
Diagnosis and treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus together make up a completely new area of expertise in paediatrics. Prevention of the disease must be pivotal for all physicians who see obese paediatric patients. Lifestyle modifications (weight reduction, increase in physical activity) are important factors that can reverse progression of the disease, though this is more easily said than done. All physicians who are active in the politics of healthcare need to be made aware that attention needs to be focused on prevention of this condition by implementing multidisciplinary treatment programmes and specifically tailored rehabilitation clinics for obese children and adolescents. However, there is no point in any programmes except those that have been subjected to evaluation and are coordinated.
