In the past Type 2 diabetes was seen primarily in adults over age 40 and labelled adult-onset diabetes, but in recent years an increasing amount of children have been diagnosed with it. Unlike Type 1 diabetes, which is caused by genetics and requires insulin injections, Type 2 is primarily controlled by diet and physical activity.

One in every 4 children in Orange County is overweight, a near doubling over the last twenty years. Obesity affects at least 150,000 children in the county and is characterized as an epidemic across the U.S. by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Only 1% of children are meeting all of the dietary guidelines and the current youth is the most inactive generation in history. Childhood obesity contributes to asthma, menstrual irregularities, depression and low self-esteem.
