The New Zealand Clinical Network, Children and Young People's Diabetes Service provides clinical leadership and oversight to ensure that there is a planned and consistent approach to the provision of diabetes services for children and young people across New Zealand.  The aim of the network is to improve the care of children and young people with diabetes and their families through clinical networking, audit and research.

Guidelines on Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetic Ketoacidosis Management are found in the Starship Guidelines.

General information for families can be found on Kidshealth.org.nz

In addition to the resources listed below, the Clinical Network endorses the recently published Australasian Paediatric Endocrine Group guidelines for the Screening, assessment and management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in children and adolescents (https://doi.org/10.5694/mja2.50666)
