New guidelines for type 2 diabetes screening in children are less effective and more costly than previous screening methods, and may result in an under-diagnosis for children, research shows.
The research, published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, finds that both pediatric and family medicine providers who care for children are using screening tests for type 2 diabetes that may result in missed diagnoses for children, says lead author Joyce Lee, M.D., M.P.H., associate professor in U-M's Departments of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases and Environmental Health Sciences.
