ABCC8/KCNJ11 variants should be suspected in children diagnosed with diabetes below the age of 6 months, as a high percentage can be switched from insulin to oral antidiabetic drugs. Thirty patients with diabetes due to pathogenic variants of ABCC8 or KCNJ11 were diagnosed beyond the neonatal period. Patients maintain good metabolic control even after a diabetes duration of up to 11 years.
