This graph shows that type 1 diabetes occurs more with children 10 years and younger with little type 2 diabetes with all types of races. But with children 10-19 years old type 1 and type 2 diabetes varies within all types of races. Since younger children are more likely to get type 1 diabetes it is necessary that they know as much information as they can handle about this disease. Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are both unwanted diseases, but type 1 is so much scarier and worse then type 2. Some parents may not know a lot of information about diabetes along with the kids, so it is important for them to have someone to talk to. Yeah many doctors know information on diabetes, but I would rather talk to someone who specializes in it if it were me.
