Screening
- Fasting blood glucose levels are evaluated every two to three months. Closer follow-up is needed if fasting or postprandial blood glucose concentrations are elevated.
- Urinalysis and plasma concentrations of electrolytes, uric acid, BUN, and creatinine should be estimated twice-yearly.
- Annual assessment of vision and hearing; weight, height, and body mass index; heart (including echocardiography); plasma insulin concentration; lipid profile; plasma ALT, AST, and GGT concentrations; pulmonary function; thyroid function.
- Renal and bladder ultrasound examinations should be conducted if symptomatic and/or if urinalysis is abnormal, every one to two years.
