The number of young people under age 20 with diabetes in the U.S. is likely to increase more rapidly in future decades, according to a new study published in Diabetes Care by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

This upward trend may lead to as many as 220,000 young people having type 2 diabetes in 2060 — a nearly 700% increase, and the number of young people with type 1 diabetes could increase by as much as 65% in the next 40 years.
