  • Elevated fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels were noted in children with obesity and overweight.
  • Analysis employed the oral glucose tolerance test alongside the TyG index for comprehensive assessment.
  • The findings highlight the TyG index's promise in detecting type 2 diabetes and glucose disorders among children.
