In India, T2DM develops at a younger age, at least a decade earlier, than in Western population(1). There is paucity of data on prevalence of IGT and T2DM amongst children suffering from obesity in NCT of Delhi.

A total of 451 obese children in the age of 6-<18 were identified in this study by IOTF classification(3), of which 154 children, were included in the present study, to assess the prevalence of T2DM and IGT.
