DR. MARC SIEGEL: More bad news about our kids' health. Is Ozempic the solution?

The disturbing news about our young children’s health is coming at us fast and furious. First we find out that there is an obesity epidemic among our youth, that more than 20% (perhaps more) are now obese, and I can tell you as a practicing internist that today’s obese child could be tomorrow’s obese adult with type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure or stroke. And now we find out that, according to the latest CDC data, a third of all children ages 12 to 17 have pre-diabetes.
