Aim to improve the management of paediatric patients with diabetes who are required to fast for a procedure or surgery. This guideline is intended for healthcare professionals, particularly those in training, who are working in HSE- funded paediatric and neonatal services. It is designed to guide clinical judgement but not replace it. In individual cases a healthcare professional may, after careful consideration, decide not to follow a guideline if it is deemed to be in the best interests of the child.
