The prevalence of obesity in children is reaching epidemic proportions. Excess adiposity is
more than just a cosmetic problem, having substantial metabolic consequences. Insulin
resistance, hyperinsulinemia, impaired glucose tolerance, and frank diabetes are often seen
in obese children. In this study the prevalence of impaired glucose (carbohydrate) tolerance
in lean children with a family history of diabetes and obese children with acanthosis
nigricans with or without a family history of diabetes mellitus will be studied.
