This time of year is always exciting as the new ADA Standards of Care are released.
The 2020 version incorporates these 2019 Living Standard Updates, along with a lot of additional information that impacts our practice.
Here are some highlights that particularly caught my attention:
- The Intensifying Injectables Algorithm for Type 2 was simplified and now includes instruction on using NPH in clinical practice.
- There is continued enhancement of the Cardiovascular Standard which provides intensive guidelines to improve care and reduce mortality from heart disease.
- The Microvascular Complication section was updated and new charts were added to clarify screening and diagnostic guidelines.
- In the children and adolescent section, detailed and updated information on cardiovascular risk management, screening and pharmacologic approaches were added.
- The Diabetes Technology section was re-organized and updated in an effort to keep up with the rapid pace of new tech tools that individuals are using to improve diabetes care.
