Guideline
Diabetes (type 1 and type 2) in children and young people: diagnosis and management
Diabetes (type 1 and type 2) in children and young people: diagnosis and management - National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)
This guideline covers the diagnosis and management of type 1 and type 2 diabetes in children and young people aged under 18. The guideline recommends how to support children and young people and their families and carers to maintain tight control of blood glucose to reduce the long-term risks associated with diabetes.
In May 2023, we reviewed the evidence and made new recommendations on blood glucose monitoring and management for children and young people with type 2 diabetes. For more details, see the update information.
