Some have questioned whether excess obesity or adiposity might be playing a role in this increased incidence of type 1 diabetes or whether healthcare professionals are not recognizing type 2 diabetes in youth. Join host Dr. Steven Edelman and his guest, pediatric endocrinologist and clinical researcher, Dr. Susan Phillips, as they discuss the challenges facing healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes in childhood.
