1.0.0.0 Type 1 Di­a­betes

1.1.0.0 In­tro­duc­tion

The Amer­i­can Di­a­betes As­so­ci­a­tion (ADA) “Stan­dards of Med­i­cal Care in Di­a­betes” in­cludes ADA’s cur­rent clin­i­cal prac­tice rec­om­men­da­tions and is in­tend­ed to pro­vide the com­po­nents of di­a­betes care, gen­er­al treat­ment goals and guide­lines, and tools to eval­u­ate qual­i­ty of care. Mem­bers of the ADA Pro­fes­sion­al Prac­tice Com­mit­tee, a mul­ti­dis­ci­plinary ex­pert com­mit­tee, are re­spon­si­ble for up­dat­ing the Stan­dards of Care an­nu­al­ly, or more fre­quent­ly as war­rant­ed. For a de­tailed de­scrip­tion of ADA stan­dards, state­ments, and re­ports, as well as the ev­i­dence-‍grad­ing sys­tem for ADA’s clin­i­cal prac­tice rec­om­men­da­tions, please refer to the Stan­dards of Care In­tro­duc­tion. Read­ers who wish to com­ment on the Stan­dards of Care are in­vit­ed to do so at pro­fes­sion­al.di­a­betes.org/‍SOC.

The man­age­ment of di­a­betes in chil­dren and ado­les­cents can­not sim­ply be de­rived from care rou­tine­ly pro­vided to adults with di­a­betes. The epi­demi­ol­o­gy, patho­phys­i­ol­o­gy, de­vel­op­men­tal con­sid­er­a­tions, an­dre­sponse tother­a­py inpe­di­atric-‍onset di­a­betes are dif­fer­ent from adult di­a­betes. There are also dif­fer­ences in rec­om­mend­ed care for chil­dren and ado­les­cents with type 1 as op­posed to type 2 di­a­betes. This sec­tion first ad­dress­es care for chil­dren and ado­les­cents with type 1 di­a­betes and next ad­dress­es care for chil­dren and ado­les­cents with type 2 di­a­betes. Fig­ure 13.1 pro­vides guid­ance on man­ag­ing new-‍onset di­a­betes in over­weight youth be­fore type 1 or type 2 di­a­betes is di­ag­nosed and so ap­plies to all over­weight youth. Last­ly, guid­ance is pro­vided in this sec­tion on tran­si­tion of care from pe­di­atric to adult pro­viders to en­sure that the con­tin­u­um of care is ap­pro­pri­ate as the child with di­a­betes de­vel­ops into adult­hood. Due to the na­ture of clin­i­cal re­search in chil­dren, the rec­om­men­da­tions for chil­dren and ado­les­cents with di­a­betes are less like­ly to be based on clin­i­cal trial ev­i­dence. How­ev­er, ex­pert opin­ion and a re­view of avail­able and rel­e­vant ex­per­i­men­tal data are sum­ma­rized in the Amer­i­can Di­a­betes As­so­ci­a­tion (ADA) po­si­tion state­ments “Type 1 Di­a­betes in Chil­dren and Ado­les­cents” (1) and “Eval­u­a­tion and Man­age­ment of Youth-‍Onset Type 2 Di­a­betes” (2). The ADA con­sen­sus re­port “Youth-‍Onset Type 2 Di­a­betes Con­sen­sus Re­port: Cur­rent Sta­tus, Chal­lenges, and Pri­or­i­ties” (3) char­ac­ter­izes type 2 di­a­betes in chil­dren and eval­u­ates treat­ment op­tions as well, but also dis­cuss­es knowl­edge gaps and re­cruit­ment chal­lenges in clin­i­cal and trans­la­tion­al re­search in youth-‍onset type 2 di­a­betes.

TYPE 1 DI­A­BETES

Type 1 di­a­betes is the most­com­mon form of di­a­betes in youth (4), al­though re­cent data sug­gest­that itmay ac­count­for a large pro­por­tionof­cas­es di­ag­nosed in adultlife (5). The pro­vider must con­sid­er the unique as­pects of care and man­age­ment of chil­dren and ado­les­cents with type 1 di­a­betes, such as changes in in­sulin sen­si­tiv­i­ty re­lat­ed to phys­i­cal growth and sex­u­al mat­u­ra­tion, abil­i­ty to pro­vide self-‍care, su­per­vi­sion in the child care and school en­vi­ron­ment, neu­ro­log­i­cal vulnerabil­i­ty to hy­po­glycemia and hy­per­glycemia in young chil­dren, as well as pos­si­ble ad­verse neu­rocog­ni­tive ef­fects of di­a­bet­ic ke­toaci­do­sis (DKA) (6,7). At­ten­tion to fam­i­ly dy­nam­ics, de­vel­op­men­tal stages, and phys­i­o­log­ic dif­fer­ences re­lat­ed to sex­u­al ma­tu­ri­ty is es­sen­tial in de­vel­op­ing and im­ple­ment­ing an op­ti­mal di­a­betes treat­ment plan (8).

A mul­ti­dis­ci­plinary team of spe­cial­ists trained in pe­di­atric di­a­betes man­age­ment and sen­si­tive to the chal­lenges of chil­dren and ado­les­cents with type 1 di­a­betes and their fam­i­lies should pro­vide care for this pop­u­la­tion. It is es­sen­tial that di­a­betes self-‍man­age­ment ed­u­ca­tion and sup­port, med­i­cal nu­tri­tion ther­a­py, and psy­choso­cial sup­port be pro­vided at di­ag­no­sis and reg­u­lar­ly there­after in a de­vel­op­men­tally ap­pro­pri­ate for­mat that builds on prior knowl­edge by in­di­vid­u­als ex­pe­ri­enced with the ed­u­ca­tional, nu­tri­tional, be­hav­ioral, and emo­tion­al needs of the grow­ing child and fam­i­ly. The ap­pro­pri­ate bal­ance be­tween adult su­per­vi­sion and in­de­pen­dent self­care should be defined at the first in­ter­ac­tion and reeval­u­ated at sub­se­quent vis­its, with the ex­pec­ta­tion that it will evolve as the ado­les­cent grad­u­al­ly be­comes an emerg­ing young adult.

1.2.0.0 Di­a­betes Self-‍man­age­ment Ed­u­ca­tion and Sup­port

Rec­om­men­da­tion

13.1 Youth with type 1 di­a­betes and par­ents/‍care­giv­ers (for pa­tients aged <18 years) should re­ceive cul­tur­al­ly sen­si­tive and de­vel­op­men­tally ap­pro­pri­ate in­di­vid­u­al­ized di­a­betes self-‍man­age­ment ed­u­ca­tion and sup­port ac­cord­ing to na­tion­al stan­dards at di­ag­no­sis and rou­tine­ly there­after. B

No mat­ter how sound the med­i­cal reg­i­men, it can only be ef­fec­tive if the fam­i­ly and/‍or af­fect­ed in­di­vid­u­als are able to im­ple­ment it. Fam­i­ly in­volve­ment is a vital com­po­nent of op­ti­mal di­a­betes man­age­ment through­out child­hood and ado­les­cence. Health care pro­viders in the di­a­betes care team who care for chil­dren and ado­les­cents must be ca­pa­ble of eval­u­at­ing the ed­u­ca­tional, be­hav­ioral, emo­tion­al, and psy­choso­cial fac­tors that im­pact im­ple­mentation of a treat­ment plan and must work with the in­di­vid­u­al and fam­i­ly to over­come bar­ri­ers or redefine goals as ap­pro­pri­ate. Di­a­betes self-‍man­age­ment ed­u­ca­tion and sup­port re­quires pe­ri­od­ic re­as­sess­ment, es­pe­cial­ly as the youth grows, de­vel­ops, and ac­quires the need for greater in­de­pen­dent self-‍care skills. In ad­di­tion, it is nec­es­sary to as­sess the ed­u­ca­tional needs and skills of day care pro­viders, school nurs­es, or other school per­son­nel who par­tic­i­pate in the care of the young child with di­a­betes (9).

1.3.0.0 Nu­tri­tion Ther­a­py

Rec­om­men­da­tions

13.2 In­di­vid­u­al­ized med­i­cal nu­tri­tion ther­a­py is rec­om­mend­ed for chil­dren and ado­les­cents with type 1 di­a­betes as an es­sen­tial com­po­nent of the over­all treat­ment plan. A

13.3 Mon­i­tor­ing car­bo­hy­drate in­take, whether by car­bo­hy­drate count­ing or ex­pe­ri­ence-‍based es­ti­ma­tion, is key to achiev­ing op­ti­mal glycemic con­trol. B

13.4 Com­pre­hen­sive nu­tri­tion ed­u­ca­tion at di­ag­no­sis, with an­nu­al up­dates, by an ex­pe­ri­enced reg­is­tered di­eti­tian is rec­om­mend­ed to as­sess caloric and nu­tri­tion in­take in re­la­tion to weight sta­tus and car­dio­vas­cu­lar dis­ease risk fac­tors and to in­form macronu­tri­ent choic­es. E

Di­etary man­age­ment should be in­di­vid­u­al­ized: fam­i­ly habits, food pref­er­ences, re­li­gious or cul­tur­al needs, sched­ules, phys­i­cal ac­tiv­i­ty, and the pa­tient’s and fam­i­ly’s abil­i­ties in nu­mer­a­cy, lit­er­a­cy, and self-‍man­age­ment should be con­sid­ered. Di­eti­tian vis­its should in­clude as­sessment for changes in food pref­er­ences over time, ac­cess to food, growth and de­vel­op­ment, weight sta­tus, car­dio­vas­cu­lar risk, and po­ten­tial for eat­ing dis­or­ders. Di­etary ad­her­ence is as­so­ci­at­ed with bet­ter glycemic con­trol in youth with type 1 di­a­betes (10).

1.4.0.0 Phys­i­cal Ac­tiv­i­ty and Ex­er­cise

Rec­om­men­da­tions

13.5 Ex­er­cise is rec­om­mend­ed for all youth with type 1 di­a­betes with the goal of 60 min of mod­er­ate-‍to vig­or­ous-‍in­ten­si­ty aer­o­bic ac­tiv­i­ty daily, with vig­or­ous mus­cle-‍strength­en­ing and bone-‍strength­en­ing ac­tiv­i­ties at least 3 days per week. C

13.6 Ed­u­ca­tion about fre­quent pat­terns of glycemia dur­ing and after ex­er­cise, which may in­clude ini­tial tran­sient hy­per­glycemia fol­lowed by hy­po­glycemia, is es­sen­tial. Fam­i­lies should also re­ceive ed­u­ca­tion on pre­ven­tion and man­age­ment of hy­po­glycemia dur­ing and after ex­er­cise, in­clud­ing en­sur­ing pa­tients have a preex­er­cise glu­cose level of 90–250 mg/dL (5–13 mmol/‍L) and ac­cessible car­bo­hy­drates be­fore en­gag­ing in ac­tiv­i­ty, in­di­vid­u­al­ized ac­cord­ing to the type/‍in­ten­si­ty of the planned phys­i­cal ac­tiv­i­ty. E

13.7 Pa­tients should be ed­u­cat­ed on strate­gies to pre­vent hy­po­glycemia dur­ing ex­er­cise, after ex­er­cise, and overnight fol­low­ing ex­er­cise, which may in­clude re­duc­ing pran­di­al in­sulin dos­ing for the meal/‍snack pre­ced­ing (and, if need­ed, fol­low­ing) ex­er­cise, in­creas­ing car­bo­hy­drate in­take, eat­ing bed­time snacks, using con­tin­u­ous glu­cose mon­i­tor­ing, and/‍or re­duc­ing basal in­sulin doses. C

13.8 Fre­quent glu­cose mon­i­tor­ing be­fore, dur­ing, and after ex­er­cise, with or with­out use of con­tin­u­ous glu­cose mon­i­tor­ing, is im­por­tant to pre­vent, de­tect, and treat hy­po­glycemia and hy­per­glycemia with ex­er­cise. C

Ex­er­cise pos­i­tive­ly af­fects in­sulin sen­si­tiv­i­ty, phys­i­cal fitness, strength build­ing, weight man­age­ment, so­cial in­ter­ac­tion, mood, self-‍es­teem build­ing, and cre­ation of health­ful habits for adult­hood, but it also has the po­ten­tial to cause both hy­po­glycemia and hy­per­glycemia.

See below for strate­gies to mit­i­gate hy­po­glycemia risk and min­i­mize hy­per­glycemia with ex­er­cise. For an in-‍depth dis­cus­sion, see re­cently pub­lished re­views and guide­lines (11-13).

Over­all, it is rec­om­mend­ed that youth with type 1 di­a­betes par­tic­i­pate in 60 min of mod­er­ate-‍ (e.g., brisk walk­ing, danc­ing) to vig­or­ous-‍ (e.g., run­ning, jump­ing rope in­ten­si­ty aer­o­bic ac­tiv­i­ty daily, in­clud­ing re­sis­tance and flex­i­bil­i­ty train­ing (14). Al­though un­com­mon in the pe­di­atric pop­u­la­tion, pa­tients should be med­i­cally eval­u­ated for co­mor­bid con­di­tions or di­a­betes com­pli­ca­tions that­may re­strict­par­tic­i­pa­tion in an ex­er­cise pro­gram. As hy­per­glycemia can occur be­fore, dur­ing, and after phys­i­cal ac­tiv­i­ty, it is im­por­tant to en­sure that the el­e­vat­ed glu­cose level is not re­lat­ed to in­sulin deficien­cy that would lead to wors­en­ing hy­per­glycemia with ex­er­cise and ke­to­sis risk. In­tense ac­tiv­i­ty should be post­poned with marked hy­per­glycemia (glu­cose ≥350 mg/dL [19.4 mmol/‍L]), mod­er­ate to large urine ke­tones, and/‍or b-‍hydroxybutyrate (B-OHB) >1.5 mmol/‍L. Cau­tion may be need­ed when B-OHB lev­els are ≥0.6 mmol/‍L (10,11).

The pre­ven­tion and treat­ment of hy­po­glycemia as­so­ci­at­ed with phys­i­cal ac­tiv­i­ty in­clude de­creas­ing the pran­di­al in­sulin for the meal/‍snack be­fore ex­er­cise and/‍or in­creas­ing food in­take. Pa­tients on in­sulin pumps can lower basal rates by ˜10–50% or more or sus­pend for 1–2 h dur­ing ex­er­cise (15). De­creas­ing basal rates or long act­ing in­sulin doses by ˜20% after ex­er­cise may re­duce de­layed ex­er­cise-induced hy­po­glycemia (16). Ac­ces­si­ble rapid-‍act­ing car­bo­hy­drates and fre­quent blood glu­cose mon­i­tor­ing be­fore, dur­ing, and after ex­er­cise, with or with­out con­tin­u­ous glu­cose mon­i­tor­ing, max­i­mize safe­ty with ex­er­cise.

Blood glu­cose tar­gets prior to ex­er­cise should be 90–250 mg/dL (5.0–13.9 mmol/‍L). Con­sid­er ad­di­tional car­bo­hy­drate in­take dur­ing and/‍or after ex­er­cise, de­pend­ing on the du­ra­tion and in­ten­si­ty of phys­i­cal ac­tiv­i­ty, to pre­vent hy­po­glycemia. For low- to mod­er­ate-‍in­ten­si­ty aer­o­bic ac­tiv­i­ties (30260 min), and if the pa­tient is fast­ing, 10215 g of car­bo­hy­drate may pre­vent hy­po­glycemia (17). After in­sulin bo­lus­es (rel­a­tive hyperin­sulinemia), con­sid­er 0.5–1.0 g of car­bo­hy­drates/kg per hour of ex­er­cise (˜30–60 g), which is sim­i­lar to car­bo­hy­drate re­quire­ments to op­ti­mize per­for­mance in ath­letes with­out type 1 di­a­betes (18-20).

In ad­di­tion, obe­si­ty is as com­mon in chil­dren and ado­les­cents with type 1 di­a­betes as in those with­out di­a­betes. It is as­so­ci­at­ed with high­er fre­quen­cy of car­dio­vas­cu­lar risk fac­tors, and it dis­pro­por­tion­ate­ly af­fects racial/‍eth­nic mi­nori­ties in the U.S. (21-25). There­fore, di­a­betes care pro­viders should mon­i­tor weight sta­tus and en­cour­age a healthy diet, ex­er­cise, and healthy weight as key com­po­nents of pe­di­atric type 1 di­a­betes care.

1.5.0.0 School and Child Care

As a large por­tion of a child’s day is spent in school, close com­mu­ni­ca­tion with and the co­op­er­a­tion of school or day care per­son­nel are es­sen­tial for op­ti­mal di­a­betes man­age­ment, safe­ty, and max­i­mal aca­dem­ic op­por­tu­ni­ties. Refer to the ADA po­si­tion state­ments “Di­a­betes Care in the School Set­ting” (26) and “Care of Young Chil­dren With Di­a­betes in the Child Care Set­ting” (27) for ad­di­tional de­tails.

1.6.0.0 Psychoso­cial Is­sues

Rec­om­men­da­tions

13.9 At di­ag­no­sis and dur­ing rou­tine fol­low-‍up care, as­sess psy­choso­cial is­sues and fam­i­ly stress­es that could im­pactdi­a­betes man­age­ment and pro­vide ap­pro­pri­ate re­fer­rals to trained men­tal health pro­fes­sion­als, prefer­ably ex­pe­ri­enced in child­hood di­a­betes. E

13.10 Men­tal health pro­fes­sion­als should be con­sid­ered in­te­gral mem­bers of the pe­di­atric di­a­betes mul­ti­dis­ci­plinary team. E

13.11 En­cour­age de­vel­op­men­tally ap­pro­pri­ate fam­i­ly in­volve­ment in di­a­betes man­age­ment tasks for chil­dren and ado­les­cents, rec­og­niz­ing that pre­ma­ture trans­fer of di­a­betes care to the child can re­sult in di­a­betes burn-‍out nonad­her­ence and de­te­ri­o­ra­tion in glycemic con­trol. A

13.12 Providers should con­sid­er ask­ing youth and their par­ents about so­cial ad­just­ment (peer re­la­tionships) and school per­for­mance to de­ter­mine whether fur­ther in­ter­ven­tion is need­ed. B

13.13 As­sess youth with di­a­betes for psy­choso­cial and di­a­betes-‍re­lat­ed dis­tress, gen­er­ally start­ing at 7–8 years of age. B

13.14 Offer ado­les­cents time by them­selves with their care pro­vider(s) start­ing at age 12 years, or when de­vel­op-men­tally ap­pro­pri­ate. E

13.15 Start­ing at pu­ber­ty, pre­con­cep­tion coun­sel­ing should be in­cor­po­rat­ed into rou­tine di­a­betes care for all girls of child­bear­ing po­ten­tial. A

13.16 Begin screen­ing youth with type 1 di­a­betes for eat­ing dis­or­ders be­tween 10 and 12 years of age. The Di­a­betes Eat­ing Prob­lems Sur­vey-‍Re­vised (DEPS-‍R) is a re­li­able, valid, and brief screen­ing tool for iden­ti­fy­ing dis­turbed eat­ing be­hav­ior. B

Rapid and dy­nam­ic cog­ni­tive, de­vel­op­men­tal, and emo­tion­al changes occur dur­ing child­hood, ado­les­cence, and emerg­ing adult­hood. Di­a­betes man­age­ment dur­ing child­hood and ado­les­cence places sub­stan­tial bur­dens on the youth and fam­i­ly, ne­ces­si­tat­ing on­go­ing as­sessment of psy­choso­cial sta­tus and di­a­betes dis­tress in the pa­tient and the care­giv­er dur­ing rou­tine di­a­betes vis­its (28-34). Early de­tection of de­pres­sion, anx­i­ety, eat­ing dis­or­ders, and learn­ing disabil­i­ties can fa­cil­i­tate ef­fec­tive treat­ment op­tions and help min­i­mize ad­verse ef­fects on di­a­betes man­age­ment and dis­ease out­comes (33,35). There are val­i­dat­ed tools, such as the Prob­lem Areas in Di­a­betes-‍ Teen (PAID-‍T) and Par­ent (P-PAID-‍Teen) (34), that can be used in as­sessing di­a­betes-‍specific dis­tress in youth start­ing at age 12 years and in their par­ent care­giv­ers. Fur­ther­more, the com­plex­i­ties of di­a­betes man­age­ment re­quire on­go­ing par­ental in­volve­ment in care through­out child­hood with de­vel­op­men­tally ap­pro­pri­ate fam­i­ly team­work be­tween the grow­ing child/‍teen and par­ent in order to main­tain ad­her­ence and to pre­vent de­te­ri­o­ra­tion in glycemic con­trol (36,37). As di­a­betes-‍specific fam­i­ly conflict is re­lat­ed to poor­er ad­her­ence and glycemic con­trol, it is ap­pro­pri­ate to in­quire about such conflict dur­ing vis­its and to ei­ther help to ne­go­ti­ate a plan for res­o­lu­tion or refer to an ap­pro­pri­ate men­tal health spe­cial­ist (38). Mon­i­tor­ing of so­cial ad­just­ment (peer re­la­tionships) and school per­for­mance can fa­cil­i­tate both well-‍being and aca­dem­ic achieve­ment (39). Subop­ti­mal glycemic con­trol is a risk fac­tor for underper­for­mance at school and in­creased ab­sen­teeism (40). Shared de­ci­sion mak­ing with youth re­gard­ing the adop­tion of reg­i­men com­po­nents and self-‍man­age­ment be­hav­iors can im­prove di­a­betes self-‍efficacy, ad­her­ence, and metabol­ic out­comes (22,41).

Al­though cog­ni­tive abil­i­ties vary, the eth­i­cal po­si­tion often adopt­ed is the “ma­ture minor rule,” where­by chil­dren after age 12 or 13 years who ap­pear to be “ma­ture” have the right to con­sent or with­hold con­sent to gen­er­al med­i­cal treat­ment, ex­cept in cases in which re­fusal would significant­ly en­dan­ger health (42).

Be­gin­ning at the onset of pu­ber­ty or at di­ag­no­sis of di­a­betes, all ado­les­cent girls and women with child­bear­ing po­ten­tial should re­ceive ed­u­ca­tion about the risks of malfor­mations as­so­ci­at­ed with poor metabol­ic con­trol and the use of ef­fec­tive con­tra­cep­tion to pre­vent un­planned preg­nan­cy. Pre­con­cep­tion coun­sel­ing using de­vel­op­men­tally ap­pro­pri­ate ed­u­ca­tional tools en­ables ado­les­cent girls to make well-‍in­formed de­ci­sions (43). Pre-‍con­cep­tion coun­sel­ing re­sources tai­lored for ado­les­cents are avail­able at no cost through the ADA (44). Refer to the ADA po­si­tion state­ment “Psychoso­cial Care for Peo­ple With Di­a­betes” for fur­ther de­tails (35).

Youth with type 1 di­a­betes have an in­creased risk of dis­or­dered eat­ing be­hav­ior as well as clin­i­cal eat­ing dis­or­ders with se­ri­ous short-‍term and long-‍term neg­a­tive ef­fects on di­a­betes out­comes and health in gen­er­al. There­fore, it is im­por­tant to screen for eat­ing dis­or­ders in youth with type 1 di­a­betes using tools such as the Di­a­betes Eat­ing Prob­lems Sur­vey-‍Re­vised (DEPS-‍R) to allow for early di­ag­no­sis and in­ter­ven­tion (45-48).

Screen­ing

Screen­ing for psy­choso­cial dis­tress and men­tal health prob­lems is an im­por­tant com­po­nent of on­go­ing care. It is im­por­tant to con­sid­er the im­pact of di­a­betes on qual­i­ty of life as well as the de­vel­op­ment of men­tal health prob­lems re­lat­ed to di­a­betes dis­tress, fear of hy­po­glycemia (and hy­per­glycemia), symp­toms of anx­i­ety, dis­or­dered eat­ing be­hav­iors as well as eat­ing dis­or­ders, and symp­toms of de­pres­sion (49). Con­sid­er as­sessing youth for di­a­betes dis­tress, gen­er­ally start­ing at 7 or 8 years of age (35). Con­sid­er screen­ing for de­pres­sion and dis­or­dered eat­ing be­hav­iors using avail­able screen­ing tools (28,45). With re­spect to dis­or­dered eat­ing, it is im­por­tant to rec­og­nize the unique and dan­ger­ous dis­or­dered eat­ing be­hav­ior of in­sulin omis­sion for weight con­trol in type 1 di­a­betes (50). The pres­ence of a men­tal health pro­fes­sion­al on pe­di­atric mul­ti­dis­ci­plinary teams high­lights the im­por­tance of at­tend­ing to the psy­choso­cial is­sues of di­a­betes. These psy­choso­cial fac­tors are significant­ly re­lat­ed to self-‍man­age­ment difficul­ties, subop­ti­mal glycemic con­trol, re­duced qual­i­ty of life, and high­er rates of acute and chron­ic di­a­betes com­pli­ca­tions.

Rec­om­men­da­tions

13.17 The ma­jor­i­ty of chil­dren and ado­les­cents with type 1 di­a­betes should be treat­ed with in­ten­sive in­sulin reg­i­mens, ei­ther via mul­ti­ple daily in­jec­tions or con­tin­u­ous sub­cu­ta­neous in­sulin in­fu­sion. A

13.18 All chil­dren and ado­les­cents with type 1 di­a­betes should self-‍mon­i­tor glu­cose lev­els mul­ti­ple times daily (up to 6–10 times/‍day), in­clud­ing pre­meal, prebed­time, and as need­ed for safe­ty in specific sit­u­a­tions such as ex­er­cise, driv­ing, or the pres­ence of symp­toms of hy­po­glycemia. B

13.19 Con­tin­u­ous glu­cose mon­i­tor­ing should be con­sid­ered in all chil­dren and ado­les­cents with type 1 di­a­betes, whether using in­jec­tions or con­tin­u­ous sub­cu­ta­neous in­sulin in­fu­sion, as an ad­di­tional tool to help im­prove glu­cose con­trol. Benefits of con­tin­u­ous glu­cose mon­i­tor­ing cor­re­late with ad­her­ence to on­go­ing use of the de­vice. B

13.20 Au­to­mat­ed in­sulin de­liv­ery sys­tems ap­pear to im­prove glycemic con­trol and re­duce hy­po­glycemia in chil­dren and should be con­sid­ered in chil­dren with type 1 di­a­betes. B

13.21 An A1C tar­get of <7.5% (58 mmol/‍mol) should be con­sid­ered in chil­dren and ado­les­cents with type 1 di­a­betes but should be in­di­vid­u­al­ized based on the needs and sit­u­a­tion of the pa­tient and fam­i­ly. E

Please refer to Sec­tion 7 “Di­a­betes Tech­nol­o­gy” for more infor­mation on the use of blood glu­cose me­ters, con­tin­u­ous glu­cose mon­i­tors, and in­sulin pumps. More infor­mation on in­sulin in­jec­tion tech­nique can be found in Sec­tion 9 “Phar­ma­co­log­ic Ap­proach­es to Glycemic Treat­ment,” p. S90.

Cur­rent stan­dards for di­a­betes man­age­ment reflect the need to lower glu­cose as safe­ly as pos­si­ble. This should be done with step­wise goals. When es­tab­lish­ing in­di­vid­u­al­ized glycemic tar­gets, spe­cial con­sid­eration should be given to the risk of hy­po­glycemia in young chil­dren (aged <6 years) who are often un­able to rec­og­nize, ar­tic­u­late, and/‍or man­age hy­po­glycemia. How­ev­er, reg­istry data in­di­cate that lower A1C can be achieved in chil­dren, in­clud­ing those <6 years, with­out in­creased risk of se­vere hy­po­glycemia (51,52).

Type 1 di­a­betes can be as­so­ci­at­ed with ad­verse ef­fects on cog­ni­tion dur­ing child­hood and ado­les­cence. Fac­tors that con­tribute to ad­verse ef­fects on brain de­vel­op­ment and func­tion in­clude young age or DKA at onset of type 1 di­a­betes, se­vere hy­po­glycemia at <6 years of age, and chron­ic hy­per­glycemia (53,54). How­ev­er, metic­u­lous use of new ther­a­peu­tic modal­i­ties such as rap­i­dand long-‍act­ing in­sulin analogs, tech­no­log­i­cal ad­vances (e.g., con­tin­u­ous glu­cose mon­i­tors, low-‍glu­cose sus­pend in­sulin pumps, and au­to­mat­ed in­sulin de­liv­ery sys­tems), and in­ten­sive self-‍man­age­ment ed­u­ca­tion now make it more fea­si­ble to achieve ex­cel­lent glycemic con­trol while re­duc­ing the in­ci­dence of se­vere hy­po­glycemia (55-64). In­ter­mit­tent­ly scanned con­tin­u­ous glu­cose mon­i­tors (some­times re­ferred to as “flash” con­tin­u­ous glu­cose mon­i­tors) are not cur­rently ap­proved for use in chil­dren and ado­les­cents. A strong re­la­tionship ex­ists be­tween fre­quen­cy of blood glu­cose mon­i­tor­ing and glycemic con­trol (57-66).

The Di­a­betes Con­trol and Com­pli­ca­tions Trial (DCCT), which did not en­roll chil­dren <13 years of age, demon­strat­ed that near nor­mal­iza­tion of blood glu­cose lev­els was more difficult to achieve in ado­les­cents than in adults. Nev­er­the­less, the in­creased use of basal-‍bolus reg­i­mens, in­sulin pumps, fre­quent blood glu­cose mon­i­tor­ing, goal set­ting, and im­proved pa­tient ed­u­ca­tion in youth from in­fan­cy through ado­les­cence has been as­so­ci­at­ed with more chil­dren reach­ing the blood glu­cose tar­gets rec­om­mend­ed by ADA (67-70), par­tic­u­lar­ly in those fam­i­lies in which both the par­ents and the child with di­a­betes par­tic­i­pate joint­ly to per­form the re­quired di­a­betes-‍re­lat­ed tasks. Fur­ther­more, stud­ies doc­u­ment­ing neu­rocog­ni­tive imag­ing dif­fer­ences re­lat­ed to hy­per­glycemia in chil­dren pro­vide an­oth­er mo­ti­va­tion for low­er­ing glycemic tar­gets (6).

In se­lect­ing glycemic tar­gets, the long-‍term health benefits of achiev­ing a lower A1C should be bal­anced against the risks of hy­po­glycemia and the de­vel­op­men­tal bur­dens of in­ten­sive reg­i­mens in chil­dren and youth. Inad­di­tion, achiev­ing lower A1C lev­els is like­ly fa­cil­i­tated by set­ting lower A1C tar­gets (51,71). A1C and blood glu­cose tar­gets are pre­sent­ed in Table 13.1. Lower goals may be pos­si­ble dur­ing the “hon­ey­moon” phase of type 1 di­a­betes.

1.8.0.0 Au­toim­mune Con­di­tions

1.8.1.0 Rec­om­men­da­tions

Rec­om­men­da­tion

13.22 As­sess for ad­di­tional au­toim­mune con­di­tions soon after the di­ag­no­sis of type 1 di­a­betes and if symp­toms de­vel­op. E

Be­cause of the in­creased fre­quen­cy of other au­toim­mune dis­eases in type 1 di­a­betes, screen­ing for thy­roid dysfunc­tion and celi­ac dis­ease should be con­sid­ered (72,73). Pe­ri­od­ic screen­ing in asymp­tomat­ic in­di­vid­u­als has been rec­om­mend­ed, but the op­ti­mal fre­quen­cy of screen­ing is un­clear.

Al­though much less com­mon than thy­roid dysfunc­tion and celi­ac dis­ease, other au­toim­mune con­di­tions, such as Ad­di­son dis­ease (pri­ma­ry adrenal insufficien­cy), au­toim­mune hep­ati­tis, au­toim­mune gas­tri­tis, der­mato­myosi­tis, and myas­the­nia gravis, occur more com­monly in the pop­u­la­tion with type 1 di­a­betes than in the gen­er­al pe­di­atric pop­u­la­tion and should be as­sessed and mon­i­tored as clin­i­cally in­di­cated. In ad­di­tion, rel­a­tives of pa­tients should be of­fered test­ing for islet au­toan­ti­bod­ies through re­search stud­ies (e.g., Tri­al­Net) for early di­ag­no­sis of preclin­i­cal type 1 di­a­betes (stages 1 and 2).

1.8.2.0 Thy­roid Dis­ease

Rec­om­men­da­tions

13.23 Con­sid­er test­ing chil­dren with type 1 di­a­betes for antithy­roid per­ox­i­dase and an­tithy­roglob­u­lin an­ti­bod­ies soon after the di­ag­no­sis. B

13.24 Mea­sure thy­roid-stimulating hor­mone con­cen­tra­tions at di­ag­no­sis when clin­i­cally sta­ble or soon after glycemic con­trol has been es­tab­lished. If nor­mal, sug­gest recheck­ing every 1–2 years or soon­er if the pa­tient de­vel­ops symp­toms or signs sug­gestive of thy­roid dysfunc­tion, thy­romegaly, an abnor­mal growth rate, or un­ex­plained glycemic variabil­i­ty. E

Au­toim­mune thy­roid dis­ease is the most com­mon au­toim­mune dis­or­der as­so­ci­at­ed with di­a­betes, oc­cur­ring in 17–30% of pa­tients with type 1 di­a­betes (74). At the time of di­ag­no­sis, about 25% of chil­dren with type 1 di­a­betes have thy­roid au­toan­ti­bod­ies (75); their pres­ence is pre­dic­tive of thy­roid dysfunc­tiond most com­monly hypothy­roidism, al­though hyperthy­roidism oc­curs in ˜0.5% of pa­tients with type 1 di­a­betes (76,77). For thy­roid au­toan­ti­bod­ies, a re­cent study from Swe­den in­di­cated antithy­roid per­ox­i­dase an­ti­bod­ies were more pre­dic­tive than an­tithy­roglob­u­lin an­ti­bod­ies in mul­ti­vari­ate anal­y­sis (78). Thy­roid func­tion tests may be mis­lead­ing (euthy­roid sick syn­drome) if per­formed at the time of di­ag­no­sis owing to the ef­fect of pre­vi­ous hy­per­glycemia, ke­to­sis or ke­toaci­do­sis, weight loss, etc. There­fore, if per­formed at di­ag­no­sis and slight­ly abnor­mal, thy­roid func­tion tests should be re­peat­ed soon after a pe­ri­od of metabol­ic stabil­i­ty and good glycemic con­trol. Subclin­i­cal hypothy­roidism may be as­so­ci­at­ed with in­creased risk of symp­tomat­ic hy­po­glycemia (79) and re­duced lin­ear growth rate. Hyperthy­roidism al­ters glu­cose metabolism and usu­al­ly caus­es de­te­ri­o­ra­tion of glycemic con­trol.

1.8.3.0 Celi­ac Dis­ease

Rec­om­men­da­tions

13.25 Screen chil­dren with type 1 di­a­betes for celi­ac dis­ease by mea­sur­ing IgA tis­sue trans­g­lu­tam­i­nase (tTG) an­ti­bod­ies, with doc­u­men­ta­tion of nor­mal total serum IgA lev­els, soon after the di­ag­no­sis of di­a­betes, or IgG to tTG and deami­dat­ed gliadin an­ti­bod­ies if IgA deficient. E

13.26 Re­peat screen­ing with­in 2 years of di­a­betes di­ag­no­sis and then again after 5 years and con­sid­er more fre­quent screen­ing in chil­dren who have symp­toms or a first-‍de­gree rel­a­tive with celi­ac dis­ease. B

13.27 In­di­vid­u­als with biop­sy-‍confirmed celi­ac dis­ease should be placed on a gluten-‍free diet and have a con­sul­ta­tion with a di­eti­tian ex­pe­ri­enced in man­ag­ing both di­a­betes and celi­ac dis­ease. B

Celi­ac dis­ease is an im­mune-‍me­di­at­ed dis­or­der that oc­curs with in­creased fre­quen­cy in pa­tients with type 1 di­a­betes (1.6–16.4% of in­di­vid­u­als com­pared with 0.3–1% in the gen­er­al pop­u­la­tion) (72,73,80–83).

Screen­ing for celi­ac dis­ease in­cludes mea­sur­ing serum lev­els of IgA and tis­sue trans­g­lu­tam­i­nase an­ti­bod­ies, or, with IgA deficien­cy, screen­ing can in­clude mea­sur­ing IgG tis­sue trans­g­lu­tam­i­nase an­ti­bod­ies or IgG deami­dat­ed gliadin pep­tide an­ti­bod­ies. Be­cause most cases of celi­ac dis­ease are di­ag­nosed with­in the first 5 years after the di­ag­no­sis of type 1 di­a­betes, screen­ing should be con­sid­ered at the time of di­ag­no­sis and re­peat­ed at 2 and then 5 years (82) or if clin­i­cal symp­toms in­di­cate, such as poor growth or in­creased hy­po­glycemia (83,84).

Al­though celi­ac dis­ease can be di­ag­nosed more than 10 years after di­a­betes di­ag­no­sis, there are insufficient data after 5 years to de­ter­mine the op­ti­mal screen­ing fre­quen­cy. Mea­surement of tis­sue trans­g­lu­tam­i­nase an­ti­body should be con­sid­ered at other times in pa­tients with symp­toms sug­gestive of celi­ac dis­ease (82). Mon­i­tor­ing for symp­toms should in­clude as­sessment of lin­ear growth and weight gain (83,84). A small-‍bowel biop­sy in an­ti­body-pos­i­tive chil­dren is rec­om­mend­ed to confirm the di­ag­no­sis (85). Eu­ro­pean guide­lines on screen­ing for celi­ac dis­ease in chil­dren (not specific to chil­dren with type 1 di­a­betes) sug­gest that biop­sy may not be nec­es­sary in symp­tomat­ic chil­dren with high an­ti­body titers (i.e., greater than 10 times the upper limit of nor­mal) pro­vided that fur­ther test­ing is per­formed (verification of en­domysial an­ti­body pos­i­tiv­i­ty on a sep­a­rate blood sam­ple). Whether this ap­proach may be ap­pro­pri­ate for asymp­tomat­ic chil­dren in high-‍risk groups re­mains an open ques­tion, though ev­i­dence is emerg­ing (86). It is also ad­vis­able to check for celi­ac dis­ease–as­so­ci­at­ed HLA types in pa­tients who are di­ag­nosed with­out a small in­testi­nal biop­sy. In symp­tomat­ic chil­dren with type 1 di­a­betes and confirmed celi­ac dis­ease, gluten-‍free diets re­duce symp­toms and rates of hy­po­glycemia (87). The chal­leng­ing di­etary re­stric­tions as­so­ci­at­ed with hav­ing both type 1 di­a­betes and celi­ac dis­ease place a significant bur­den on in­di­vid­u­als. There­fore, a biop­sy to confirm the di­ag­no­sis of celi­ac dis­ease is rec­om­mend­ed, es­pe­cial­ly in asymp­tomat­ic chil­dren, be­fore es­tab­lish­ing a di­ag­no­sis of celi­ac dis­ease (88) and en­dors­ing significant di­etary changes. A gluten-‍free diet was beneficial in asymp­tomat­ic adults with pos­i­tive an­ti­bod­ies confirmed by biop­sy (89).

If tar­get blood pres­sure is not reached with­in 3–6 months of ini­ti­at­ing lifestyle in­ter­ven­tion, phar­ma­co­log­ic treat­ment should be con­sid­ered. E

13.30 In ad­di­tion to lifestyle modifi- cation, phar­ma­co­log­ic treat­ment of hy­per­ten­sion (sys­tolic blood pres­sure or di­as­tolic blood pres­sure con­sis­tent­ly ≥95th per­centile for age, sex, and height) should be con­sid­ered as soon as hy­per­ten­sion is confirmed. E

13.33 Ob­tain a fast­ing lipid profile in chil­dren ≥10 years of age soon after the di­ag­no­sis of di­a­betes (after glu­cose con­trol has been es­tab­lished). E

13.34 If LDL choles­terol val­ues are with­in the ac­cept­ed risk level (<100 mg/dL [2.6 mmol/‍L]), a lipid profile re­peat­ed every 3–5 years is rea­son­able. E

Treat­ment

13.35 If lipids are abnor­mal, ini­tial ther­a­py should con­sist of op­ti­miz­ing glu­cose con­trol and med­i­cal nu­tri­tion ther­a­py using a Step 2 Amer­i­can Heart As­so­ci­a­tion diet to de­crease the amount of sat­u­rat­ed fat to 7% of total calo­ries and di­etary choles­terol to 200 mg/‍day, which is safe and does not in­ter­fere with nor­mal growth and de­vel­op­ment. B

13.36 After the age of 10 years, ad­di­tion of a statin is sug­gested in pa­tients who, de­spite med­i­cal nu­tri­tion ther­a­py and lifestyle changes, con­tin­ue to have LDL choles­terol >160 mg/dL (4.1 mmol/‍L) or LDL choles­terol >130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/‍L) and one or more car­dio­vas­cu­lar dis­ease risk fac­tor, fol­low­ing re­pro­duc­tive coun­sel­ing be­cause of the po­ten­tial ter­ato­genic ef­fects of statins. E

13.37 The goal of ther­a­py is an LDL choles­terol value <100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/‍L). E

Pop­u­la­tion-‍based stud­ies es­ti­mate that 14–45% of chil­dren with type 1 di­a­betes have two or more atheroscle­rot­ic car­dio­vas­cu­lar dis­ease (ASCVD) risk fac­tors (92-94), and the preva­lence of car­dio­vas­cu­lar dis­ease (CVD) risk fac­tors in­creas­es with age (94) and among racial/‍ eth­nic mi­nori­ties (21), with girls hav­ing a high­er risk bur­den than boys (93).

Patho­phys­i­ology.

The atheroscle­rot­ic pro­cess be­gins in child­hood, and al­though ASCVD events are not ex­pect­ed to occur dur­ing child­hood, ob­ser­va­tions using a va­ri­ety of method­olo­gies show that youth with type 1 di­a­betes may have subclin­i­cal CVD with­in the first decade of di­ag­no­sis (95-97). Stud­ies of carotid in­ti­ma-‍media thick­ness have yield­ed incon­sistent re­sults (90,91).

Treat­ment.

Pe­di­atric lipid guide­lines pro­vide some guid­ance rel­e­vant to chil­dren with type 1 di­a­betes (90,98–100); how­ev­er, there are few stud­ies on mod­i­fy­ing lipid lev­els in chil­dren with type 1 di­a­betes. A 6-‍month trial of di­etary coun­sel­ing pro­duced a significant im­provement in lipid lev­els (101); like­wise, a lifestyle in­ter­ven­tion trial with 6 months of ex­er­cise in ado­les­cents demon­strat­ed im­provement in lipid lev­els (102).

Al­though in­ter­ven­tion data are sparse, the Amer­i­can Heart As­so­ci­a­tion cat­e­go­rizes chil­dren with type 1 di­a­betes in the high­est tier for car­dio­vas­cu­lar risk and rec­om­mends both lifestyle and phar­ma­co­log­ic treat­ment for those with el­e­vat­ed LDL choles­terol lev­els (100,103). Ini­tial ther­a­py should be with a nu­tri­tion plan that re­stricts sat­u­rat­ed fat to 7% of total calo­ries and di­etary choles­terol to 200 mg/‍day. Data from ran­dom­ized clin­i­cal tri­als in chil­dren as young as 7 months of age in­di­cate that this diet is safe and does not in­ter­fere with nor­mal growth and de­vel­op­ment (104).

For chil­dren with a significant fam­i­ly his­to­ry of CVD, the Na­tion­al Heart, Lung, and Blood In­sti­tute rec­om­mends ob­tain­ing a fast­ing lipid panel be­gin­ning at 2 years of age (98). Abnor­mal re­sults from a ran­dom lipid panel should be confirmed with a fast­ing lipid panel. Data from the SEARCH for Di­a­betes in Youth (SEARCH) study show that im­proved glu­cose con­trol over a 2-year pe­ri­od is as­so­ci­at­ed with a more fa­vor­able lipid profile; how­ev­er, im­proved glycemic con­trol alone will not nor­malize lipids in youth with type 1 di­a­betes and dys­lipi­demia (105).

Nei­ther long-‍term safe­ty nor car­dio­vas­cu­lar out­come efficacy of statin ther­a­py has been es­tab­lished for chil­dren; how­ev­er, stud­ies have shown short-‍term safe­ty equiv­a­lent to that seen in adults and efficacy in low­er­ing LDL choles­terol lev­els in fa­mil­ial hypercholes­terolemiaorse­vere hy­per­lipi­demia, im­prov­ing en­dothe­lial func­tion and caus­ing re­gres­sion of carotid in­ti­mal thick­en­ing (106,107). Statins are not ap­proved for pa­tients aged <10 years, and statin treat­ment should gen­er­ally not be used in chil­dren with type 1 di­a­betes be­fore this age. Statins are contrain­di­cated in preg­nan­cy; there­fore, pre­ven­tion of un­planned preg­nan­cies is of paramount im­por­tance for post­pu­ber­tal girls (see Sec­tion 14 “Man­age­ment of Di­a­betes in Preg­nan­cy” for more infor­mation). The mul­ti­cen­ter, ran­dom­ized, placebo-con­trolled Ado­les­cent Type 1 Di­a­betes Cardio-‍Renal In­ter­ven­tion Trial (AdDIT) pro­vides safe­ty data on phar­ma­co­log­ic treat­ment with an ACE in­hibitor and statin in ado­les­cents with type 1 di­a­betes.

1.9.3.0 Smok­ing

13.39 e-‍Cigarette use should be dis­cour­aged. B

The ad­verse health ef­fects of smok­ing are well rec­og­nized with re­spect to fu­ture can­cer and CVD risk. De­spite this, smok­ing rates are significant­ly high­er among youth with di­a­betes than among youth with­out di­a­betes (108,109). In youth with di­a­betes, it is im­por­tant to avoid ad­di­tional CVD risk fac­tors. Smok­ing in­creas­es the risk of onset of al­bu­min-‍uria; there­fore, smok­ing avoid­ance is im­por­tant to pre­vent both mi­crovas­cu­lar and macrovas­cu­lar com­pli­ca­tions (98, 110). Dis­cour­ag­ing cigarette smok­ing, in­clud­ing e-‍cigarettes (111,112), is an im­por­tant part of rou­tine di­a­betes care. In younger chil­dren, it is im­por­tant to as­sess ex­po­sure to cigarette smoke in the home be­cause of the ad­verse ef­fects of se­cond­hand smoke and to dis­cour­age youth from ever smok­ing if ex­posed to smok­ers in child­hood.

Screen­ing

13.40 An­nu­al screen­ing for al­bu­min-‍uria with a ran­dom (morn­ing sam­ple pre­ferred to avoid ef­fects of ex­er­cise) spot urine sam­ple for al­bu­min-‍to-‍cre­a­ti­nine ratio should be con­sid­ered at pu­ber­ty or at age >10 years, whichev­er is ear­li­er, once the child has had di­a­betes for 5 years. B

Treat­ment

13.41 An ACE in­hibitor or an an­giotensin re­cep­tor block­er, titrat­ed to nor­mal­iza­tion of al­bu­min ex­cre­tion, may be con­sid­ered when el­e­vat­ed uri­nary al­bu­min-‍to-‍cre­a­ti­nine ratio (>30 mg/g) is doc­u­ment­ed (two of three urine sam­ples ob­tained over a 6-‍month in­ter­val fol­low­ing ef­forts to im­prove glycemic con­trol and nor­malize blood pres­sure). E

Data from 7,549 par­tic­i­pants <20 years of age in the T1D Ex­change clin­ic reg­istry em­pha­size the im­por­tance of good glycemic and blood pres­sure con­trol, par­tic­u­lar­ly as di­a­betes du­ra­tion in­creas­es, in order to re­duce the risk of di­a­bet­ic kid­ney dis­ease. The data also un­der­score the im­por­tance of rou­tine screen­ing to en­sure early di­ag­no­sis and time­ly treat­ment of al­bu­minuria (113). An es­ti­ma­tion of glomeru­lar filtra­tion rate (GFR), cal­cu­lat­ed using GFR es­ti­mat­ing equa­tions from the serum cre­a­ti­nine, height, age, and sex (114), should be con­sid­ered at base­line and re­peat­ed as in­di­cated based on clin­i­cal sta­tus, age, di­a­betes du­ra­tion, and ther­a­pies. Im­proved meth­ods are need­ed to screen for early GFR loss, since es­ti­mated GFR is in­ac­cu­rate at GFR >60 mL/‍min/‍1.73 m2 (114,115). The AdDIT study in ado­les­cents with type 1 di­a­betes demon­strat­ed safe­ty of ACE in­hibitor treat­ment, but the treat­ment did not change the al­bu­min-‍to-‍cre­a­ti­nine ratio over the course of the study (90).

1.10.2 Retinopa­thy

Rec­om­men­da­tions

13.42 An ini­tial di­lat­ed and com­pre­hen­sive eye ex­am­i­na­tion is rec­om­mend­ed once youth have had type 1 di­a­betes for 3–5 years, pro­vided they are age ≥10 years or pu­ber­ty has start­ed, whichev­er is ear­li­er. B

13.43 After the ini­tial ex­am­i­na­tion, an­nu­al rou­tine fol­low-‍up is gen­er­ally rec­om­mend­ed. Less-‍fre­quent ex­am­i­na­tions, every 2 years, may be ac­cept­able on the ad­vice of an eye care pro­fes­sion­al and based on risk fac­tor as­sessment. E

13.44 Retinopa­thy (like al­bu­minuria) most com­monly oc­curs after the onset of pu­ber­ty and after 5–10 years of di­a­betes du­ra­tion (116). Re­fer­rals should be made to eye care pro­fes­sion­als with ex­pertise in di­a­bet­ic retinopa­thy and ex­pe­ri­ence in coun­sel­ing the pe­di­atric pa­tient and fam­i­ly on the im­por­tance of pre­ven­tion, early de­tection, and in­ter­ven­tion.

13.46 Di­a­bet­ic neu­ropa­thy rarely oc­curs in pre­pu­ber­tal chil­dren or after only 1–2 years of di­a­betes (116), al­though data sug­gest a preva­lence of dis­tal pe­riph­er­al neu­ropa­thy of 7% in 1,734 youth with type 1 di­a­betes and as­so­ci­at­ed with the pres­ence of CVD risk fac­tors (117,118). A com­pre­hen­sive foot exam, in­clud­ing in­spec­tion, pal­pa­tion of dor­salis pedis and pos­te­ri­or tib­ial puls­es, and de­ter­mi­na­tion of pro­pri­o­cep­tion, vi­bra­tion, and monofilament sen­sa­tion, should be per­formed an­nu­al­ly along with an as­sessment of symp­toms of neu­ro­path­ic pain (118).

2.0.0.0 TYPE 2 DI­A­BETES

2.1.0.0 In­tro­duc­tion

For infor­mation on test­ing for type 2 di­a­betes and predi­a­betes in chil­dren and ado­les­cents, please refer to Sec­tion 2 “Clas­sification and Di­ag­no­sis of Di­a­betes.” For ad­di­tional sup­port for these rec­om­men­da­tions, see the ADA po­si­tion state­ment “Eval­u­a­tion and Man­age­ment of Youth-‍Onset Type 2 Di­a­betes” (2).

Type 2 di­a­betes in youth has in­creased over the past 20 years, and re­cent es­ti­mates sug­gest an in­ci­dence of ;5,000 new cases per year in the U.S. (119). The Cen­ters for Dis­ease Con­trol and Pre­ven­tion pub­lished pro­jec­tions for type 2 di­a­betes preva­lence using the SEARCH database; as­sum­ing a 2.3% an­nu­al in­crease, the preva­lence in those under 20 years of age will quadru­ple in 40 years (120,121).

Ev­i­dence sug­gests that type 2 di­a­betes in youth is dif­fer­ent not only from type 1 di­a­betes but also from type 2 di­a­betes in adults and has unique fea­tures, such as a more rapid­ly pro­gres­sive de­cline in β-cell func­tion and ac­cel­er­at­ed de­vel­op­ment of di­a­betes com­pli­ca­tions (2,122). Type 2 di­a­betes dis­pro­por­tion­ate­ly im­pacts youth of eth­nic and racial mi­nori­ties and can occur in com­plex psy­choso­cial and cul­tur­al en­vi­ron­ments, which may make it difficult to sus­tain healthy lifestyle changes and self-‍man­age­ment be­hav­iors (22,123–126). Ad­di­tion­al risk fac­tors as­so­ci­at­ed with type 2 di­a­betes in youth in­clude adi­pos­i­ty, fam­i­ly his­to­ry of di­a­betes, fe­male sex, and low so­cioe­co­nom­ic sta­tus (122).

As with type 1 di­a­betes, youth with type 2 di­a­betes spend much of the day in school. There­fore, close com­mu­ni­ca­tion with and the co­op­er­a­tion of school per­son­nel are es­sen­tial for op­ti­mal di­a­betes man­age­ment, safe­ty, and max­i­mal aca­dem­ic op­por­tu­ni­ties.

2.2.0.0 Screen­ing and Di­ag­no­sis

Rec­om­men­da­tions

13.45 Risk-‍based screen­ing for predi­a­betes and/‍or type 2 di­a­betes should be con­sid­ered in chil­dren and ado­les­cents after the onset of pu­ber­ty or ≥10 years of age, whichev­er oc­curs ear­li­er, who are over­weight (BMI ≥85th per­centile) or obese (BMI ≥95th per­centile) and who have one or more ad­di­tional risk fac­tors for di­a­betes (see Table 2.4 for ev­i­dence grad­ing of other risk fac­tors).

13.46 If tests are nor­mal, re­peat test­ing at a min­i­mum of 3-year in­ter­vals E, or more fre­quent­ly if BMI is in­creas­ing. C

13.47 Fast­ing plas­ma glu­cose, 2-h plas­ma glu­cose dur­ing a 75-g oral glu­cose tol­er­ance test, and A1C can be used to test for predi­a­betes or di­a­betes in chil­dren and ado­les­cents. B

13.48 Chil­dren and ado­les­cents with over­weight/obe­si­ty in whom the di­ag­no­sis of type 2 di­a­betes is being con­sid­ered should have a panel of pan­cre­at­ic au­toan­ti­bod­ies test­ed to ex­clude the pos­si­bil­i­ty of au­toim­mune type 1 di­a­betes. B

In the last decade, the in­ci­dence and preva­lence of type 2 di­a­betes in ado­les­cents has in­creased dra­mat­i­cal­ly, es­pe­cial­ly in racial and eth­nic mi­nor­i­ty pop­u­la­tions (98,127). A few re­cent stud­ies sug­gest oral glu­cose tol­er­ance tests or fast­ing plas­ma glu­cose val­ues as more suit­able di­ag­nos­tic tests than A1C in the pe­di­atric pop­u­la­tion, es­pe­cial­ly among cer­tain eth­nicities (128), al­though fast­ing glu­cose alone may over­diag­nose di­a­betes in chil­dren (129,130). In ad­di­tion, many of these stud­ies do not rec­og­nize that di­a­betes di­ag­nos­tic cri­te­ria are based on long-‍term health out­comes, and val­i­da­tions are not cur­rently avail­able in the pe­di­atric pop­u­la­tion (131). ADA acknowl­edges the lim­it­ed data sup­porting A1C for di­ag­nos­ing type 2 di­a­betes in chil­dren and ado­les­cents. Al­though A1C is not rec­om­mend­ed for di­ag­no­sis of di­a­betes in chil­dren with cys­tic fibro­sis or symp­toms sug­gestive of acute onset of type 1 di­a­betes, and only A1C as­says with­out in­ter­ference are ap­pro­pri­ate for chil­dren with hemoglobinopathies, ADA con­tin­ues to rec­om­mend A1C for di­ag­no­sis of type 2 di­a­betes in this pop­u­la­tion (132,133).

2.3.0.0 Di­ag­nos­tic Chal­lenges

Given the cur­rent obe­si­ty epi­dem­ic, dis­tin­guish­ing be­tween type 1 and type 2 di­a­betes in chil­dren can be difficult. Over­weight and obe­si­ty are com­mon in chil­dren with type 1 di­a­betes (23), and di­a­betes-‍as­so­ci­at­ed au­toan­ti­bod­ies and ke­to­sis may be pre­sent in pe­di­atric pa­tients with fea­tures of type 2 di­a­betes (in­clud­ing obe­si­ty and acan­tho­sis ni­gri­cans) (129). The pres­ence of islet auto-‍an­ti­bod­ies has been as­so­ci­at­ed with faster pro­gres­sion to in­sulin deficien­cy (129). At onset, DKA oc­curs in ˜6% of youth aged 10–19 years with type 2 di­a­betes (134). Al­though un­com­mon, type 2 di­a­betes has been ob­served in pre­pu­ber­tal chil­dren under the age of 10, and thus it should be part of the dif­fer­ential in chil­dren with sug­gestive symp­toms (135). Fi­nal­ly, obe­si­ty (136) and type 2 di­a­betes–as­so­ci­at­ed ge­net­ic fac­tors may (137) con­tribute to the de­vel­op­ment of type 1 di­a­betes in some in­di­vid­u­als, which fur­ther blurs the lines be­tween di­a­betes types. How­ev­er, ac­cu­rate di­ag­no­sis is crit­i­cal, as treat­ment reg­i­mens, ed­u­ca­tional ap­proaches, di­etary ad­vice, and out­comes dif­fer marked­ly be­tween pa­tients with the two di­ag­noses.

13.50 Youth with over­weight/obe­si­ty and type 2 di­a­betes and their fam­i­lies should be pro­vided with de­vel­op­men­tally and cul­tur­al­ly ap­pro­pri­ate com­pre­hen­sive lifestyle pro­grams that are in­te­grat­ed with di­a­betes man­age­ment to achieve 7–10% de­crease in ex­cess weight. C

13.51 Given the ne­ces­si­ty of long-‍term weight man­age­ment for chil­dren and ado­les­cents with type 2 di­a­betes, lifestyle in­ter­ven­tion should be based on a chron­ic care model and of­fered in the con­text of di­a­betes care. E

13.52 Youth with di­a­betes, like all chil­dren, should be en­cour­aged to par­tic­i­pate in at least 30–60 min of mod­er­ate to vig­or­ous phys­i­cal ac­tiv­i­ty at least 5 days per week (and strength train­ing on at least 3 days/‍week) B and to de­crease seden­tary be­hav­ior. C

13.56 A rea­son­able A1C tar­get for most chil­dren and ado­les­cents with type 2 di­a­betes treat­ed with oral agents alone is <7% (53 mmol/‍mol). More strin­gent A1C tar­gets (such as <6.5% [48 mmol/‍mol]) may be ap­pro­pri­ate for se­lect­ed in­di­vid­u­al pa­tients if this can be achieved with­out significant hy­po­glycemia or other ad­verse ef­fects of treat­ment. Ap­pro­pri­ate pa­tients might in­clude those with short du­ra­tion of di­a­betes and less­er de­grees of β-cell dysfunc­tion and pa­tients treat­ed with lifestyle or met­formin only who achieve signifi- cant weight im­provement.

2.4.2 Overview

Treat­ment of youth-‍onset type 2 di­a­betes should in­clude lifestyle man­age­ment, di­a­betes self-‍man­age­ment ed­u­ca­tion, and phar­ma­co­log­ic treat­ment. Ini­tial treat­ment of youth with obe­si­ty and di­a­betes must take into ac­count that di­a­betes type is often uncer­tain in the first few weeks of treat­ment, due to over­lap in pre­sentation, and that a sub­stan­tial per­cent­age of youth with type 2 di­a­betes will pre­sent with clin­i­cally significant ke­toaci­do­sis (138). There­fore, ini­tial ther­a­py should ad­dress the hy­per­glycemia and as­so­ci­at­ed metabol­ic de­range­ments irre­spective of ul­ti­mate di­a­betes type, with ad­just­ment of ther­a­py once metabol­ic com­pen­sa­tion has been es­tab­lished and sub­se­quent infor­mation, such as islet autoan­ti­body re­sults, be­comes avail­able. Fig­ure 13.1 pro­vides an ap­proach to ini­tial treat­ment of new-‍onset di­a­betes in over­weight youth.

Glycemic tar­gets should be in­di­vid­u­al­ized, tak­ing into con­sid­eration long-‍term health benefits of more strin­gent tar­gets as well as risk for ad­verse ef­fects, such as hy­po­glycemia. A lower tar­get A1C in youth with type 2 di­a­betes when com­pared with those rec­om­mend­ed in type 1 di­a­betes is justified by lower risk of hy­po­glycemia and high­er risk of com­pli­ca­tions (139-142).

Pa­tients and their fam­i­lies must pri­or­i­tize lifestyle modifications such as eat­ing a bal­anced diet, achiev­ing and main­taining a healthy weight, and ex­er­cising reg­u­lar­ly. A fam­i­ly-cen­tered ap­proach to nu­tri­tion and lifestyle modi- fication is es­sen­tial in chil­dren with type 2 di­a­betes, and nu­ti­tion rec­om­men­da­tions should be cul­tur­al­ly ap­pro­pri­ate and sen­si­tive to fam­i­ly re­sources (see Sec­tion “Lifestyle Man­age­ment”). Given the com­plex so­cial and en­vi­ron­men­tal con­text sur­round­ing youth with type 2 di­a­betes, in­di­vid­u­al-‍level lifestyle in­ter­ven­tions may not be sufficient to tar­get the com­plex in­ter­play of fam­i­ly dy­nam­ics, men­tal health, com­mu­ni­ty readi­ness, and the broad­er en­vi­ron­men­tal sys­tem (2).

A mul­ti­dis­ci­plinary di­a­betes team, in­clud­ing a physi­cian, di­a­betes nurse ed­u­ca­tor, reg­is­tered di­eti­tian, and psy­chol­o­gist or so­cial work­er, is es­sen­tial. In ad­di­tion to blood glu­cose con­trol and self-‍man­age­ment ed­u­ca­tion (143-145), ini­tial treat­ment must in­clude man­age­ment of co­mor­bidities such as obe­si­ty, dys­lipi­demia, hy­per­ten­sion, and mi­crovas­cu­lar com­pli­ca­tions.

Cur­rent phar­ma­co­log­ic treat­ment op­tions for youth-‍onset type 2 di­a­betes are lim­it­ed to two ap­proved drugsdin­sulin and met­formin (2). Pre­sen­ta­tion with ke­toaci­do­sis or marked ke­to­sis re­quires a pe­ri­od of in­sulin ther­a­py until fast­ing and postpran­di­al glycemia have been re­stored to nor­mal or near-‍nor­mal lev­els. Met­formin ther­a­py may be used as an ad­junct after res­o­lu­tion of ke­to­sis/ ke­toaci­do­sis. Ini­tial treat­ment should also be with in­sulin when the dis­tinc­tion be­tween type 1 di­a­betes and type 2 di­a­betes is un­clear and in pa­tients who have ran­dom blood glu­cose con­cen­tra­tions ≥250 mg/dL (13.9 mmol/‍L) and/‍or A1C ≥8.5% (69 mmol/‍mol) (146). In­sulin is need­ed when the glycemic tar­get is not met on met­formin alone, or if there is met­formin intol­er­ance or renal or hep­at­ic insufficien­cy (147).

When in­sulin treat­ment is not re­quired, ini­ti­a­tion of met­formin is rec­om­mend­ed. The Treat­ment Op­tions for Type 2 Di­a­betes in Ado­les­cents and Youth (TODAY) study found that met­formin alone pro­vided durable glycemic con­trol (A1C ≤8% [64 mmol/‍mol] for 6 months) in ap­prox­i­mate­ly half of the sub­jects (148). To date, the TODAY study is the only trial com­bin­ing lifestyle and met­formin ther­a­py in youth with type 2 di­a­betes; the com­bi­na­tion did not per­form bet­ter than met­formin alone in achiev­ing durable glycemic con­trol (148).

2.4.3.0 Metabol­ic Surgery

Rec­om­men­da­tions

13.67 Metabol­ic surgery may be con­sid­ered for the treat­ment of ado­les­cents with type 2 di­a­betes who are marked­ly obese (BMI >35 kg/m2) and who have uncon­trolled glycemia and/‍or se­ri­ous co­mor­bidities de­spite lifestyle and phar­ma­co­log­ic in­ter­ven­tion. A

13.68 Metabol­ic surgery should be per­formed only by an ex­pe­ri­enced sur­geon work­ing as part of a well-‍or­ga­nized and en­gaged mul­ti­dis­ci­plinary team in­clud­ing sur­geon, en­docri­nol­o­gist, nu­tri­tionist, be­hav­ioral health spe­cial­ist, and nurse. A

The re­sults of weight-‍loss and lifestyle in­ter­ven­tions for obe­si­ty in chil­dren and ado­les­cents have been dis­ap­point­ing, and no ef­fec­tive and safe phar­ma­co­log­ic in­ter­ven­tion is avail­able or ap­proved by the U.S. Food and Drug Ad­min­is­tra­tion in youth. Over the last decade, weight-‍loss surgery has been in­creas­ingly per­formed in ado­les­cents with obe­si­ty. Small ret­ro­spec­tive anal­y­ses and a re­cent prospec­tive mul­ti­cen­ter nonran­dom­ized study sug­gest that bariatric or metabol­ic surgery may have benefits in obese ado­les­cents with type 2 di­a­betes sim­i­lar to those ob­served in adults. Teenagers ex­pe­ri­ence sim­i­lar de­grees of weight loss, di­a­betes re­mis­sion, and im­provement of cardiometabol­ic risk fac­tors for at least 3 years after surgery (149). No ran­dom­ized tri­als, how­ev­er, have yet com­pared the ef­fec­tiveness and safe­ty of surgery to those of con­ven­tion­al treat­ment op­tions in ado­les­cents (150). The guide­lines used as an in­di­ca­tion for metabol­ic surgery in ado­les­cents gen­er­ally in­clude BMI >35 kg/m2 with co­mor­bidities or BMI >40 kg/m2 with or with­out co­mor­bidities (151-162). A num­ber of groups, in­clud­ing the Pe­di­atric Bariatric Study Group and the Teen Lon­gi­tu­di­nal As­sessment of Bariatric Surgery (Teen-‍LABS) Study have demon­strat­ed the ef­fec­tiveness of metabol­ic surgery in ado­les­cents (155-161).

2.5.0.0 Pre­ven­tion and Man­age­ment of Di­a­betes Com­pli­ca­tions

Rec­om­men­da­tions

Nephropa­thy

13.69 Blood pres­sure should be mea­sured at every visit. A

13.70 Blood pres­sure should be op­ti­mized to re­duce risk and/‍or slow the pro­gres­sion of di­a­bet­ic kid­ney dis­ease. A

13.71 If blood pres­sure is >95th per­centile for age, sex, and height, in­creased em­pha­sis should be placed on lifestyle man­age­ment to pro­mote weight loss. If blood pres­sure re­mains above the 95th per­centile after 6 months, an­ti­hy­per­ten­sive ther­a­py should be ini­ti­at­ed. C

13.72 Ini­tial ther­a­peu­tic op­tions in­clude ACE in­hibitors or an­giotensin re­cep­tor block­ers. Other blood pres­sure–low­er­ing agents may be added as need­ed. C

13.73 Pro­tein in­take should be at the rec­om­mend­ed daily al­lowance of 0.8 g/‍kg/‍day. E

13.75 Urine al­bu­min-‍to-‍cre­a­ti­nine ratio should be ob­tained at the time of di­ag­no­sis and an­nu­al­ly there­after. An el­e­vat­ed urine al­bu­min-‍to-‍cre­a­ti­nine ratio (>30 mg/g cre­a­ti­nine) should be confirmed on two of three sam­ples. B

13.76 Es­ti­mat­ed glomeru­lar filtra­tion rate should be de­ter­mined at the time of di­ag­no­sis and an­nu­al­ly there­after. E

13.77 In non­preg­nant pa­tients with di­a­betes and hy­per­ten­sion, ei­ther an ACE in­hibitor or an an­giotensin re­cep­tor block­er is rec­om­mend­ed for those with mod­est­ly el­e­vat­ed uri­nary al­bu­min-‍to-‍cre­a­ti­nine ratio (30–299 mg/g cre­a­ti­nine) D and is strong­ly rec­om­mend­ed for those with uri­nary al­bu­min-‍to-‍cre­a­ti­nine ratio >300 mg/g cre­a­ti­nine and/‍or es­ti­mated glomeru­lar filtra­tion rate <60 mL/‍min/‍1.73 m2. E

13.78 For those with nephropa­thy, con­tin­ued mon­i­tor­ing (year­ly uri­nary al­bu­min-‍to-‍cre­a­ti­nine ratio, es­ti­mated glomeru­lar filtra­tion rate, and serum potas­si­um) may aid in as­sessing ad­her­ence and de­tecting pro­gres­sion of dis­ease. E

13.79 Re­fer­ral to nephrol­o­gy is rec­om­mend­ed in case of uncer­tainty of eti­ol­o­gy, wors­en­ing uri­nary al­bu­min-‍to-‍cre­a­ti­nine ratio, or de­crease in es­ti­mated glomeru­lar filtra­tion rate. E

Neu­ropa­thy

13.79 Youth with type 2 di­a­betes should be screened for the pres­ence of neu­ropa­thy by foot ex­am­i­na­tion at di­ag­no­sis and an­nu­al­ly. The ex­am­i­na­tion should in­clude in­spec­tion, as­sessment of foot puls­es, pin­prick and 10-g monofilament sen­sa­tion tests, test­ing of vi­bra­tion sen­sa­tion using 128-Hz tun­ing fork, and ankle reflexes. C

13.80 Pre­ven­tion should focus on achiev­ing glycemic tar­gets. C

Retinopa­thy

13.81 Screen­ing for retinopa­thy should be per­formed by di­lat­ed fun­doscopy or reti­nal pho­tog­ra­phy at or soon after di­ag­no­sis and an­nu­al­ly there­after. C

13.82 Op­ti­miz­ing glycemia is rec­om­mend­ed to de­crease the risk or slow the pro­gres­sion of retinopa­thy. B

13.83 Less fre­quent ex­am­i­na­tion (every 2 years) may be con­sid­ered if there is ad­e­quate glycemic con­trol and a nor­mal eye exam. C

Non­al­co­holic Fatty Liver Dis­ease

13.84 Eval­u­a­tion for non­al­co­holic fatty liver dis­ease (by mea­sur­ing as­par­tate aminotrans­ferase and ala­nine aminotrans­ferase) should be done at di­ag­no­sis and an­nu­al­ly there­after. B

13.85 Re­fer­ral to gas­troen­terol­o­gy should be con­sid­ered for per­sis­tent­ly el­e­vat­ed or wors­en­ing transam­i­nas­es. B

Ob­struc­tive Sleep Apnea

13.86 Screen­ing for symp­toms of sleep apnea should be done at each visit, and re­fer­ral to a pe­di­atric sleep spe­cial­ist for eval­u­a­tion and a polysomno­gram, if in­di­cated, is rec­om­mend­ed. Ob­struc­tive sleep apnea should be treat­ed when doc­u­ment­ed. B

Polycys­tic Ovary Syn­drome

13.87 Eval­u­ate for polycys­tic ovary syn­drome in fe­male ado­les­cents with type 2 di­a­betes, in­clud­ing lab­o­ra­to­ry stud­ies when in­di­cated. B

Oral con­tra­cep­tive pills for treat­ment of polycys­tic ovary syn­drome are not contrain­di­cated for girls with type 2 di­a­betes. C

13.88 Met­formin in ad­di­tion to lifestyle modification is like­ly to im­prove the men­stru­al cyclic­i­ty and hy­per­an­dro­genism in girls with type 2 di­a­betes. E

Car­dio­vas­cu­lar Dis­ease

13.89 In­ten­sive lifestyle in­ter­ven­tions fo­cus­ing on weight loss, dys­lipi­demia, hy­per­ten­sion, and dys­g­lycemia are im­por­tant to pre­vent overt macrovas­cu­lar dis­ease in early adult­hood. E

Dys­lipi­demia

13.90 Lipid test­ing should be per­formed when ini­tial glycemic con­trol has been achieved and an­nu­al­ly there­after. B

13.91 Op­ti­mal goals are LDL choles­terol <100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/‍L), HDL choles­terol >35 mg/dL (0.905 mmol/‍L), and triglyc­erides <150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/‍L). E

13.92 If LDL choles­terol is >130 mg/dL, blood glu­cose con­trol should be max­i­mized and di­etary coun­sel­ing should be pro­vided using the Amer­i­can Heart As­so­ci­a­tion Step 2 diet. E

13.93 If LDL choles­terol re­mains above goal after 6 months of di­etary in­ter­ven­tion, ini­ti­ate ther­a­py with statin, with goal of LDL <100 mg/dL. B

13.94 If triglyc­erides are >400 mg/dL (4.7 mmol/‍L) fast­ing or >1,000 mg/dL (11.6 mmol/‍L) nonfast­ing, op­ti­mize glycemia and begin fibrate, with a goal of <400 mg/dL (4.7 mmol/‍L) fast­ing (to re­duce risk for pan­cre­ati­tis). C

Car­diac Func­tion Test­ing

13.95 Rou­tine screen­ing for heart dis­ease with elec­tro­car­dio­gram, echocar­dio­gram, or stress test­ing is not rec­om­mend­ed in asymp­tomat­ic youth with type 2 di­a­betes. B

Co­mor­bidi­ties may al­ready be pre­sent at the time of di­ag­no­sis of type 2 di­a­betes in youth (122,163). There­fore, blood pres­sure mea­sure­ment, a fast­ing lipid panel, as­sessment of ran­dom urine al­bu­min-‍to-‍cre­a­ti­nine ratio, and a di­lat­ed eye ex­am­i­na­tion should be per­formed at di­ag­no­sis. There­after, screen­ing guide­lines and treat­ment rec­om­men­da­tions for hy­per­ten­sion, dys­lipi­demia, urine al­bu­min ex­cre­tion, and retinopa­thy are sim­i­lar to those for youth with type 1 di­a­betes. Ad­di­tion­al prob­lems that may need to be ad­dressed in­clude polycys­tic ovary dis­ease and other co­mor­bidities as­so­ci­at­ed with pe­di­atric obe­si­ty, such as sleep apnea, hep­at­ic steato­sis, or­tho­pe­dic com­pli­ca­tions, and psy­choso­cial con­cerns. The ADA po­si­tion state­ment “Eval­u­a­tion and Man­age­ment of Youth-‍Onset Type 2 Di­a­betes” (2) pro­vides guid­ance on the pre­ven­tion, screen­ing, and treat­ment of type 2 di­a­betes and its co­mor­bidities in chil­dren and ado­les­cents.

Youth-‍onset type 2 di­a­betes is as­so­ci­at­ed with significant mi­crovas­cu­lar and macrovas­cu­lar risk bur­den and a sub­stan­tial in­crease in the risk of car­dio­vas­cu­lar mor­bid­i­ty and mor­tal­i­ty at an ear­li­er age than those di­ag­nosed later in life (164). The high­er com­pli­ca­tion risk in ear­li­er-‍onset type 2 di­a­betes is like­ly re­lat­ed to pro­longed life­time ex­po­sure to hy­per­glycemia and other athero­genic risk fac­tors, in­clud­ing in­sulin re­sis­tance, dys­lipi­demia, hy­per­ten­sion, and chron­ic inflam­ma­tion. There is low risk of hy­po­glycemia in youth with type 2 di­a­betes, even if they are being treat­ed with in­sulin (165), and there are high rates of com­pli­ca­tions (139-142). These di­a­betes co­mor­bidities also ap­pear to be high­er than in youth with type 1 di­a­betes de­spite short­er di­a­betes du­ra­tion and lower A1C (163). In ad­di­tion, the pro­gres­sion of vas­cu­lar abnor­malities ap­pears to be more pro­nounced in youth-‍onset type 2 di­a­betes com­pared with type 1 di­a­betes of sim­i­lar du­ra­tion, in­clud­ing is­chemic heart dis­ease and stroke (166).

2.6.0.0 Psychoso­cial Fac­tors

Rec­om­men­da­tions

13.97 Providers should as­sess so­cial con­text, in­clud­ing po­ten­tial food in­se­cu­ri­ty, hous­ing stabil­i­ty, and finan­cial bar­ri­ers, and apply that infor­mation to treat­ment de­ci­sions. E

13.98 Use pa­tient-‍ap­pro­pri­ate stan­dard­ized and val­i­dat­ed tools to as­sess for di­a­betes dis­tress and men­tal/be­hav­ioral health in youth with type 2 di­a­betes, with at­ten­tion to symp­toms of de­pres­sion and eat­ing dis­or­ders, and refer to spe­cialty care when in­di­cated. B

13.99 When choos­ing glu­cose-‍low­er­ing or other med­i­ca­tions for youth with over­weight/ obe­si­ty and type 2 di­a­betes, con­sid­er medication-tak­ing be­hav­ior and their ef­fect on weight. E

13.100 Start­ing at pu­ber­ty, pre­con­cep­tion coun­sel­ing should be in­cor­po­rat­ed into rou­tine di­a­betes clin­ic vis­its for all fe­males of child­bear­ing po­ten­tial be­cause of the ad­verse preg­nan­cy out­comes in this pop­u­la­tion. A

13.101 Pa­tients should be screened for smok­ing and al­co­hol use at di­ag­no­sis and reg­u­lar­ly there­after. C

Most youth with type 2 di­a­betes come from racial/‍eth­nic mi­nor­i­ty groups, have low so­cioe­co­nom­ic sta­tus, and often ex­pe­ri­ence mul­ti­ple psy­choso­cial stres­sors (22,35,123–126). Con­sid­eration of the sociocul­tur­al con­text and ef­forts to per­son­al­ize di­a­betes man­age­ment are of crit­i­cal im­por­tance to min­i­mize bar­ri­ers to care, en­hance ad­her­ence, and max­i­mize re­sponse to treat­ment.

Ev­i­dence about psy­chi­atric dis­or­ders and symp­toms in youth with type 2 di­a­betes is lim­it­ed (167-171), but given the sociocul­tur­al con­text for many youth and the med­i­cal bur­den and obe­si­ty as­so­ci­at­ed with type 2 di­a­betes, on­go­ing surveil­lance of men­tal health/be­hav­ioral health is in­di­cated. Symp­toms of de­pres­sion and dis­or­dered eat­ing are com­mon and as­so­ci­at­ed with poor­er glycemic con­trol (168,172,173).

Many of the drugs pre­scribed for di­a­betes and psy­chi­atric dis­or­ders are as­so­ci­at­ed with weight gain and can in­crease pa­tients’ con­cerns about eat­ing, body shape, and weight (174,175). The TODAY study doc­u­ment­ed (176) that de­spite dis­ease-‍ and age-‍specific coun­sel­ing, 10.2% of the fe­males in the co­hort be­came preg­nant over an av­er­age of 3.8 years of study par­tic­i­pa­tion. Of note, 26.4% of preg­nan­cies ended in a mis­car­riage, still­birth, or in­trauter­ine death, and 20.5% of the live-‍born in­fants had a major con­gen­i­tal anomaly.

3.0.0.0 TRAN­SI­TION FROM PE­DI­ATRIC TO ADULT CARE

Rec­om­men­da­tions

13.102 Pe­di­atric di­a­betes pro­viders should begin to pre­pare youth for tran­si­tion to adult health care in early ado­les­cence and, at the lat­est, at least 1 year be­fore the tran­si­tion. E

13.103 Both pe­di­atric and adult di­a­betes care pro­viders should pro­vide sup­port and re­sources for tran­si­tioning young adults. E

13.104 Youth with type 2 di­a­betes should be trans­ferred to an adult-‍ori­ent­ed di­a­betes spe­cial­ist when deemed ap­pro­pri­ate by the pa­tient and pro­vider. E

Care and close su­per­vi­sion of di­a­betes man­age­ment are in­creas­ingly shift­ed from par­ents and other adults to the youth with type 1 or type 2 di­a­betes through­out child­hood and ado­les­cence. The shift from pe­di­atric to adult health care pro­viders, how­ev­er, often oc­curs abrupt­ly as the older teen en­ters the next de­vel­op­men­tal stage, re­ferred to as emerg­ing adult­hood (177), which is a crit­i­cal pe­ri­od for young peo­ple who have di­a­betes. Dur­ing this pe­ri­od of major life tran­si­tions, youth begin to move out of their par­ents’ homes and must be­come fully re­spon­si­ble for their di­a­betes care. Their new re­spon­si­bil­i­ties in­clude self-‍man­age­ment of their di­a­betes, mak­ing med­i­cal ap­point­ments, and financ­ing health care, once they are no longer cov­ered by their par­ents’ health in­sur­ance plans (on­go­ing cov­er­age until age 26 years is cur­rently avail­able under pro­vi­sions of the U.S. Af­ford­able Care Act). In ad­di­tion to laps­es in health care, this is also a pe­ri­od as­so­ci­at­ed with de­te­ri­o­ra­tion in glycemic con­trol; in­creased oc­cur­rence of acute com­pli­ca­tions; psy­choso­cial, emo­tion­al, and be­hav­ioral chal­lenges; and the emer­gence of chron­ic com­pli­ca­tions (178-181). The tran­si­tion pe­ri­od from pe­di­atric to adult care is prone to frag­men­ta­tion in health care de­liv­ery, which may ad­versely im­pact health care qual­i­ty, cost, and out­comes (182).

Al­though sci­en­tific ev­i­dence is lim­it­ed, it is clear that com­pre­hen­sive and co­or­di­nat­ed plan­ning that be­gins in early ado­les­cence is nec­es­sary to fa­cil­i­tate a seam­less tran­si­tion from pe­di­atric to adult health care (178,179,183,184). A com­pre­hen­sive dis­cus­sion re­gard­ing the chal­lenges faced dur­ing this pe­ri­od, in­clud­ing specific rec­om­men­da­tions, is found in the ADA po­si­tion state­ment “Di­a­betes Care for Emerg­ing Adults: Rec­om­men­da­tions for Tran­si­tion From Pe­di­atric to Adult Di­a­betes Care Sys­tems” (179).

The En­docrine So­ci­ety in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the ADA and other or­ga­ni­za­tions has de­vel­oped tran­si­tion tools for clin­icians and youth and fam­i­lies (184).
