Methodology: We used the PRISMA methodology for the search, selection, and analysis of studies in academic and medical databases. The selected studies focused on T2DM in children and adolescents, and those focusing on adults or Type 1 diabetes were excluded. Results: An alarming increase in the prevalence of T2DM in the pediatric population was found. Risk factors are similar to those of adults, but disease management is different in children. The first-line therapy, metformin, appears to be less effective in children, highlighting the need for personalized and evidence-based treatment strategies. Conclusion: T2DM in children and adolescents requires immediate attention and effective prevention and treatment strategies. The importance of family support and education in managing this condition was underscored.
