Type 2 diabetes? I thought that was for older folks!

            Type 2 diabetes is not just an adult condition anymore. Kids, especially teens, are developing it.

            Are you at risk?

            Do you:

            • have a family history of Type 2 diabetes?
            • have acanthosis nigricans (a discoloration on the back of the neck and in skin folds often associated with insulin resistance)?
            • not get a lot of exercise?
            • make poor nutrition choices?
            Are you:
            • of Native Americans, Latino Americans and African Americans decent?
            • extremely overweight or obese?
