Children born SGA
In children born SGA it is recommended to
measure fasting plasma insulin and blood glucose
before start of treatment and annually thereafter.
In patients with increased risk for diabetes
mellitus (eg familial history of diabetes, obesity,
severe insulin resistance, acanthosis nigricans)
oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) should be
performed. If overt diabetes occurs growth
hormone should not be administered until the
patient has been stabilised for diabetes care. Then
growth hormone may be introduced with careful
monitoring of the diabetic metabolic control. An
increase in insulin dosage may be required.
