Neonatal diabetes mellitus: improved screening and early management of an underestimated disease
Key Clinical Message
Neonatal diabetes mellitus is underdiagnosed in the neonatal period because of the metabolic adaptation capacities of the newborns. However, it is associated with increased risk of short‐ and long‐term morbidity; when transient it may recurs in adulthood. It is important to improve screening and early management with appropriate guidelines.
