How to screen for type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents

Screen for type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents using glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose concentration or oral glucose tolerance test. In remote communities, an oral glucose tolerance test may be more difficult to perform and less acceptable than a point-of-care HbA1c test. See Tests to diagnose diabetes for information on these tests.
