Abstract
Obese youth and adults with IGT differ in that youth are more insulin resistant than adults in spite of similar adiposity. This could potentially explain the earlier onset of T2DM in youth through an early and amplified burden on a β-cell destined to decompensate, and explicate their lower therapeutic response to insulin sensitizers.
