“We have known for a long time that obesity is linked to Type 2 diabetes, but what is new from this study is the scale of the change in younger adults.”
Lead researcher, Imperial College London; associate professor · Diabetes · inews.co.uk · 30 Jul 2026 · Read the article
“Much of the discussion around rising type 2 diabetes in younger people has focused on ethnic minority groups. While these ethnic groups are disproportionately affected by early-onset type 2 diabetes, we now see that incidence is also increasing in white populations, showing that this public health challenge is broadening across the generation.”
Clinical associate professor at Imperial College London, Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction · Diabetes · medicalxpress.com · 22 Jul 2026 · Read the article
“We think that the earlier onset of severe obesity in young people is increasing their risk in early life and pulling down their age at diagnosis. This is really worrying given the poor health outcomes from early-onset type 2 diabetes and as numbers increase, we need to think about implementing effective treatments as early as possible.”
