ADA/EASD Consensus Report on T2D Management: Coauthor Talks Take-homes for Primary Care

The most effective care for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is multidisciplinary, team-based, and supported by a care delivery system that prioritizes continuous education across specialties and levels of practice and that consistently uses continuous quality improvement to evaluate and reassess intervention.

This one core take-home message embedded in the new consensus report on managing hyperglycemia in T2D from the American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (ADA/EASD), as articulated by Nisa Maruthur, MD, MHS, an ADA/EASD writing committee member and a practicing primary care physician. In a conversation with Patient Care^® recently, she discussed others.
