Annual screening for albuminuria should start at puberty or age over 10 years, whichever comes first.

The screening is performed using a random spot urine sample to determine the albumin-to-creatinine ratio.

Start the foot exams at puberty or age 10 years or older, whichever is earlier.
This examination should also begin after the youth has had type 1 diabetes for a minimum of 5 years.
