Tertiary Prevention

• Primary complications like diabetes mellitus and severe hyperglycemia can be prevented by lifestyle modifications and avoidance of severe obesity.

• Routine pediatric immunizations; monitoring of cardiac status and oxygenation during acute illness and post-operatively can help prevent secondary complications like dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure, pulmonary infections and ESRD.
