Abstract
Background
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children has been increasing in parallel with the rise in obesity. Due to its insidious onset and slow progression, complications often manifest later in adulthood. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and laboratory findings, and complication rates in pediatric patients with T2DM.
