Screening

  • Fasting glucose levels are evaluated every two to three months. Closer follow-up is needed if fasting or postprandial blood glucose concentrations are elevated.


  • Twice-yearly urinalysis and plasma concentrations of electrolytes, uric acid, BUN, and creatinine.
  • 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.
  • Every one to two years, renal and bladder ultrasound examinations if symptomatic and/or if urinalysis is abnormal.
