The news of diabetes has arrived on November 14.
Is this true?Or is it a figure taken from who knows where?

In Spain 30,000 children under 15 years of age suffer from type 2 diabetes and 1,100 new cases are diagnosed every year.Experts say that with good health prevention and habits, many cases could avoid or prevent.

It is a fog of children, in Estpaña (with data from 2007) there are 6,500,000 children of those ages.0.5% of the children leave .... It seems to me that for every 200 children one has type 2 diabetes ...

I have never finished believing that of the DM2 in Pediatrics ... if in adolescence, but in 7 -year -old children ?????
I am probably influenced because every time I have spoken with a pediatric endocrine, those macrocifra have denied me ... which does not mean that there are no cases, but in any way an epidemic as that article refers (at least for Spain it refers).

Link an article: Link ... Nicas-2005 >
They put incidents and prevalence in different countries, in case someone wants to read it ...
