NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Jul 11 –
Annual screening for early markers of microvascular disease is recommended starting around the age of 10 years in children with type 1 diabetes, according to an article in the July issue of the Archives of Disease in Childhood.
Dr. David B. Dunger and colleagues from Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, UK, note that this screening should include retinal funduscopy, monitoring of arterial blood pressure, and measurement of urinary albumin excretion.
The reason for these screening programs, they write, is that appropriate interventions could be given to the patients at the highest risk.
