We found lower prevalence of DR in youth with diabetes than previously reported. The incidence of DR was higher among patients with T2D and occurred with a shorter duration of disease, as compared with T1D. While the incidence of DR in youth with T1D is low, with the increasing incidence of T2D in adolescents and early risk for DR, early screening must be emphasized.
