Rise of diabetes in children

A surge of diabetes cases in children causing local doctors to sound the alarm on physical activity and proper nutrition among the youth.

TUCSON, Ariz. — The Center of Disease Control and Prevention predicts diabetes to increase by 700% in the next 30 years.

“I think what we've seen in Tucson in particular, it's a combination of, of poor diet as well as physical inactivity or lack of exercise that contributes to this risk," said Mike Kedansky, Senior Medical Officer Alignment Health Tucson. “We've seen a large increase in diabetes overall across all ages, but particularly in youth. It's been a little bit troubling because certainly, the younger somebody gets diabetes, the more risks they have as they begin to age and get older," said Kedansky.

Quality healthcare, physical activity and lifestyle changes are what medical professionals are encouraging parents to focus on with their kids.
