Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

The child with type 2 diabetes may lack classic telltale symptoms, such as glucose in the urine, ketones in the blood, weight loss, or excessive thirst and urination. However, body weight is a simple way to spot children who are likely to develop diabetes because an estimated 85 percent of the children with type 2 diabetes are obese. Obese children tend to have these characteristics: male, African American or Hispanic decent, sedentary, and have parents who are obese. Additionally, low family income predicts obesity among Caucasian, Hispanic, and Asian children. In addition to obesity, ethnicity (being Native American or of African, Asian, or Hispanic descent) increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, as does having a family history of type 2 diabetes.
