Children with these forms of diabetes may be misdiagnosed as having type 1 or 2 diabetes, which has important implications for treatment, genetic counselling, screening of family members and prognosis. Useful tools now exist to aid in their diagnosis and management. Here, we attempt to outline the clinical features that will help the physician make the differentiation from other diabetes subtypes.
