A new research has found that some young people have showed both kinds of the diabetic condition i.e. Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. This phenomenon is called as ‘double’ or ‘hybrid’ diabetes. The cases of double diabetes are on the rise in children and teenagers. The type 1 diabetes, among children under 15, is showing the rise as over three percent a year. In addition, in children under the age of four, it is rising by more than six percent a year. At the same time, during the last fifteen years, type 2 diabetes in young people dramatically arose across the world. Double diabetes clearly reveals that elements of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes reside together in the same persons. The doctor should determine first about the type of diabetes in patients before medication. People with double diabetes are likely to need both insulin and oral diabetes medication. The emergence of double diabetes seems to be linked to the epidemic of obesity in young people.
