Diagnostic criteria for all types of diabetes in children and adolescents are based on laboratory measurement of plasma glucose levels (BGL) and the presence or absence of symptoms (E). Finger prick BGL testing should not be used to diagnose diabetes (E). A marked elevation of the BGL confirms the diagnosis of diabetes, including a random plasma glucose concentration ≥11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dl) or fasting plasma glucose ≥7.0 mmol/l (≥126 mg/dl) in the presence of overt symptoms.
