For 2019, ADA and ACC Align Their Diabetes Recommendations
12/19/2018
For the first time in its annual diabetes management guidelines, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has aligned its recommendations with those of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) for cardiovascular risk reduction in people with type 2 diabetes, according to a report in Medscape.
The 2019 Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes, published online December 17 in Diabetes Care (and updated in real-time) also incorporate the recently published joint consensus guidelines by the ADA and European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), which emphasize patient-centered decision-making about the treatment of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes.
