- Screening should be considered after onset of puberty or after 10 years of age in all asymptomatic children and adolescents with BMI ≥85^th percentile and before 10 years of age with BMI ≥85^th percentile and who have additional risk factors for diabetes.

- If results are normal, testing should be repeated at 1-year interval or as relevant.
