Abstract
The prevalence of prediabetes (IFG/IGT) in children with severe obesity was high (10.52%). These patients should therefore be investigated to establish early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Obese patients with prediabetes have significantly higher levels of insulin and insulin resistance than individuals without impaired carbohydrate metabolism.
