Standard 19
Those with uncommon causes of diabetes (eg, cystic fibrosis, monogenic, post-pancreatectomy) should have access to specialist expertise with experience in these conditions.
Key practice points
Diabetes due to uncommon cause is an infrequently encountered, complex condition.
Correct diagnosis allows for specific and appropriate treatment.
Most health professionals encounter type 2 diabetes frequently, and have limited experience in managing diabetes with uncommon causes.
Current guidelines available in New Zealand are based on type 2 diabetes and do not meet the specific needs of people with diabetes from uncommon causes.
Specialist expertise is required due to the specificity of the condition and unique treatment requirements.
Read this standard in conjunction with the equality and diversity section in the introduction to the Toolkit.
