NEW YORK: Kids with diabetes may have a higher-than-average rate of asthma, and those with both conditions seem to have a tougher time keeping their blood sugar under control, a study out Monday suggests.
Researchers found that among 2,000 3- to 21-year-olds with diabetes, 11 percent had asthma - higher than the roughly 9 percent rate among children and young adults in the U.S.
The difference was bigger when the researchers looked at the 311 young people with type 2 diabetes, the form associated with obesity and usually diagnosed in adults.
In that group, 16 percent had asthma, compared with 10 percent of those with type 1 diabetes. (Reuters)
