Type 2 diabetes in children

[Wobbegong]

Quick question for those in the know!

If a 15 year old was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, would their education and treatment for the issue be the same as that for an adult? My wife is trying to find studies / info on programs for children who have the problem (for her nursing course) but we’re both struggling to find any info

Plenty out there for adults with type 1/2, lots for children with type 1, but nothing for children with type 2.

Thanks in advance

I'm quite sure a 15yr old can understand the basics, it isn't rocket science. The NHS day course I went on which was accompanied by a leaflet you took with you was simple enough.
Even I could understand it....

Many thanks, I’ll forward these to her

She may find she can request full copies of the journal articles via the college or uni library.

If she needs any more sources, Google Scholar is a good public version of Athens and other academic research portals

Thanks again. Usually we can find these sources/journals/articles etc via google scholar quite easily however for some reason we struggled with this one.
