Younger generation being diagnosed with diabetes early: study

Diabetologists, as a part of an ongoing study, have found that the younger generation were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 10 to 15 years earlier when compared to their parents’ generation. This study of family trees of patients - aged 35 to 70 years - attending the diabetic clinic showed that the age when patients were diagnosed with diabetes was between 40 and 50 years.
