Diabetes mellitus management - regular screening for complications
When screening starts
- When screening starts differs by type
- T1DM - 5 years after diagnosis (T1DM has a defined onset)
- T2DM - at diagnosis (years of undiagnosed hyperglycaemia already elapsed; ~20% have retinopathy at diagnosis)
- Screening is for asymptomatic end-organ damage - symptoms mean assessment, not screening
