    Abstract:
    In this manuscript we discuss the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes in children, emphasizing the central importance of obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension and endothelial dysfunction. We then review critically the benefits of diet, exercise and pharmacotherapy in preventing type 2 diabetes and vascular complications in high risk children and young adults.
