The incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in children is rising rapidly, yet many cases remain undetected. Conventional diagnostic tools, including fasting glucose, HbA1c, and the gold-standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), have limitations and often show low compliance in pediatric populations. This study aimed to evaluate a simplified OGTT (s-OGTT) with adjusted capillary glucose cut-off values as a novel approach for screening and diagnosing T2D in children and adolescents. A total of 468
