RECOMMENDATIONS<br />

1. Anticipatory guidance promoting healthy eating, the maintenance<br />

of a healthy weight and regular physical activity is<br />

recommended as part of routine pediatric care [Grade D,<br />

Consensus].<br />

2. Intensive lifestyle intervention, including dietary and exercise<br />

interventions, family counselling and family-oriented<br />

behaviour therapy, should be undertaken for obese children<br />

in order to achieve and maintain a healthy body<br />

weight [Grade D, Consensus].<br />

3. Children 10 years of age, or younger if puberty is established,<br />

should be screened for type 2 diabetes every 2<br />

years using an FPG test if they have ≥2 of the following<br />

risk factors [Grade D, Consensus]:<br />

• Obesity (BMI ≥95th percentile for age and gender)<br />

• Member of high-risk ethnic group and/or family history<br />

of type 2 diabetes and/or exposure to diabetes in utero<br />

• Signs or symptoms of insulin resistance (including acanthosis<br />

nigricans, hypertension, dyslipidemia, NAFLD)<br />

• IGT<br />

• Use of antipsychotic medications/atypical neuroleptics<br />

4.Very obese children (BMI ≥99th percentile for age and gender)<br />

who meet the criteria in recommendation 3 should<br />

have an OGTT performed annually [Grade D, Consensus].<br />

5. Commencing at the time of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes,<br />

all children should receive intensive counselling, including<br />

lifestyle modification, from an interdisciplinary pediatric<br />

healthcare team [Grade D, Consensus].<br />

6.The target A1C for most children with type 2 diabetes<br />

should be ≤7.0% [Grade D, Consensus].<br />

7. In children with type 2 diabetes and an AIC ≥9.0%, and in<br />

those with severe metabolic decompensation (e.g. DKA),<br />

insulin therapy should be initiated, but may be successfully<br />

weaned once glycemic targets are achieved, particularly<br />

if lifestyle changes are effectively adopted [Grade D, Level<br />

4 (38)].<br />

8. In children with type 2 diabetes, if glycemic targets are not<br />

achieved within 3 to 6 months using lifestyle modifications<br />

alone, 1 of the following should be initiated: metformin<br />

[Grade B, Level 2 (39)] or insulin [Grade D, Consensus].<br />

Metformin may be used at diagnosis in those children<br />

presenting with an A1C >7.0% [Grade B, Level 2 (39)].<br />

9. Children with type 2 diabetes should be screened annually<br />

for microvascular complications (nephropathy, neuropathy,<br />

retinopathy) beginning at diagnosis of diabetes [Grade D,<br />

Level 4 (46)].<br />

10.All children with type 2 diabetes and persistent albuminuria<br />

(2 abnormal of 3 samples over a 6- to 12-month<br />

period) should be referred to a pediatric nephrologist<br />

for assessment of etiology and treatment [Grade D,<br />

Consensus].<br />

11. Children with type 2 diabetes should have a fasting lipid<br />

profile measured at diagnosis of diabetes and every 1<br />

to 3 years thereafter as clinically indicated [Grade D,<br />

Consensus].<br />

12. Children with type 2 diabetes should be screened for<br />

hypertension beginning at diagnosis of diabetes and at<br />

every diabetes-related clinical encounter thereafter (at<br />

least biannually) [Grade D, Consensus].<br />
