## Abstract **Disclosure: J. Goroff:** None. **P. Hanley:** None. **A. Gannon:** None. **T. Grunwald:** None. The COVID 19 pandemic and associated lock downs resulted in a definitive change in lifestyle that has had multiple associated outcomes for child health. There has been report of dramatic increases in the incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in the months and years immediately following the start of the pandemic. However, whether this demonstrates an overall upward trend in disease burden, or a discrete spike has yet to be described. In this retrospective cohort study patients younger than 21 years old diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes from January 2017 to December 2022 at a large stand-alone children’s hospital were compared. Chart review was conducted at participants’ first endocrinology office visit or inpatient hospital stay for new onset Type 2 Diabetes. Diagnosis was confirmed with anti-body status for each participant. Statistical significance between incidences was determined using standard descriptive statistics. A total of 213 new onset Type 2 Diabetes cases were included. The average incidence of Type 2 Diabetes from 2017 to 2019 was 19 cases per year; compared to 65.5 cases
