Early onset of Type 2 diabetes heightens risk

This article highlights how early onset Type 2 diabetes caused by weight gain, poor nutrition, or lack of exercise causes a five fold higher frequency of end-stage kidney disease compared to those who did not have diabetes in youth.  The article also talked about a study on overweight Latinos being tested by doing weight lifting, as an option to get kids in shape and lower risk of Type 2 diabetes.
