>>> there's a new stud ay out on the toll type two diabetes is taking on young people in the country. it turns out it progresses more rapidly and is more difficult to control in young patients than in older ones. we get our report tonight from our chief medical editor, dr. nancy snyderman .
>> health experts have been aware for some time that type two diabetes is on the rise for young people , but today's study also claims that children respond much less effective lly than adults to all kinds of treatments.
>> the take-home message is it's better to prevent diabetes in children and adolescents because it's very difficult to treat.
>> of the nearly 700 people between the ages of 10 and 15 tracked in the study, patients taking a single diabetes drug failed to control their diabetes more than half of the time. the same drug plus changed in diet failed as often. even two medications failed for 4 in 10 childrens. whilium legare is a 12-year-old who is trying to control his type two diabetes since he was just 14 years old.
>> i know that my health comes first, so i'm actually watching everything i eat.
>> what's up.
>> the key is a healthier lifestyle before one is overweight, before one has type two diabetes .
>> today's study is frankly depressing, and although it helps some doctors figure out better approaches to helping children with type two diabetes , the bottom line is that it is easier to prevent this than to treat it and all of the problems that come with it, brian, heart disease , stroke, cancer, you name it, this is a sobering report.
>> so many other societal issues wrapped up in there.
