Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 The town of Leipzig in Germany is claiming today the world record for the youngest patient diagnosed with Diabetes type 2 - he is just 5 years old but weighs 40kg (88lb) compared with the usual 16kg (35lb) at that age. The world record for the youngest Diabetes type 2 patient was previously held by a French boy aged 9 years. The number of diagnosed Diabetes type 2 patients in Germany has doubled from 4 million to 8 million in the last 13 years. The number in the USA is estimated at around 41 million.
