What do we know about... diabetes and obesity in adults and children?

Elaine Hibbert-Jones et al. J Fam Health Care. 2004.

Abstract

The increased incidence of diabetes is linked with the rising incidence of obesity in adults and children in the UK. The National Framework for diabetes has identified obesity as the most significantly modifiable risk factor for type 2 diabetes. In this article, two specialist dietitians and a specialist nurse discuss exercise and diet in the prevention and management of diabetes in adults and children, with particular reference to obesity and type 2 diabetes.
