Guidelines
Standards of medical care in diabetes—2016.
The ADA’s Standards of Care provide clinicians, patients, researchers, payers, and other interested individuals with the components of good diabetes management, general treatment goals, and tools to evaluate the quality of care. Importantly, these recommendations should be adjusted based on individual preferences, comorbidities, and other patient-related factors.
American Diabetes Association. Diabetes Care. 2016;39(suppl 1):S1-S112.
AACE/ACE Comprehensive Diabetes Management Algorithm 2016.
The AACE/ACE algorithm provides recommendations on evaluating the whole patient, outlines potential risks and complications, and highlights evidence-based treatment approaches for diabetes. The document contains sections on lifestyle changes, considerations for obese individuals, prediabetes, glycemic goals, antihyperglycemic therapies, treatment algorithms, modifications for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors, and overall principles of diabetes management.
Garber AJ, et al. Endocr Pract. 2016;22(1):84-113.
American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and American College of Endocrinology—Clinical Practice Guidelines for Developing a Diabetes Mellitus Comprehensive Care Plan—2015.
These clinical practice guidelines provide practical recommendations for comprehensive care, integrate microvascular and macrovascular risk, and emphasize individualized targets for weight loss, glucose control, lipid levels, and blood pressure. There is also information on hypertension management, nephropathy management, hypoglycemia, and antihyperglycemic therapies.
Handelsman Y, et al. Endocr Pract. 2015;21(suppl 1):1-87.
Patient and Caregiver Resources
Diabetes HealthSense
Created as part of the National Diabetes Education Program, Diabetes HealthSense includes easily accessible resources that can help patients live well and meet their goals—whether they have diabetes or are at risk for the disease.
Decision Aids for T2DM
To facilitate shared decision making, these examples of medication choice decision aids from the Mayo Clinic are organized into 7 issues that may be of interest to patients with T2DM. A video demonstrating the use of these cards can be found at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYTPqceFgSw.
