As National Diabetes Month gets underway, we thought it would be useful to highlight the progress we’ve made on aligning guidelines for the care of older adults with diabetes. We’re so pleased that our own diabetes guideline (first released in 2003) has sparked changes in guidelines from the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA).
Our Guiding Principles for Diabetes infographic provides an overview of where we see alignment across the AGS, NDEP, and ADA guidelines. The infographic tees off a plenary address by Carol Mangione, MD, MSPH, FACP, at the 79th ADA Scientific Session in San Francisco this year. We’re grateful to Carol and to Gerardo Moreno, MD, MSHS, for their review and input into this infographic.
It’s always nice to know progress is happening; sometimes, it’s even nicer to see where, how, and why.
