Diabetes Clinical Practice Guideline Highlights Simplification, Deintensification of Treatment

An updated diabetes clinical practice guideline (CPG) from AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine is in the works, and it will reflect the changes in standards of care for diabetes since the 2016 version of the document. “While 2016 wasn’t that long ago, it seems like decades ago when you look at the evolution of diabetes management. There have been many new innovations in treatment we didn’t have before,” said Ed Davidson, PharmD, MPH, a member of the committee working on the CPG update.
