📢 The Big Picture – 2026 Standards of Care Update!
Target Audience: All (Health Care Team, Students, Patients)
🌟 Hot off the press! The American Diabetes Association has released the Standards of Care in Diabetes—2026. This living document is vital for optimizing care and improving health outcomes.
Key Themes this Year:
🔹 Person-Centered Care: Emphasis on shared decision-making, using inclusive, nonjudgmental language, and considering individual values and preferences.
🔹 Social Determinants of Health (SDOH): A push to screen for food insecurity, housing instability, and financial barriers to ensure equitable care.
🔹 Weight Management: Obesity treatment is now a primary goal alongside glycemic control for Type 2 diabetes.
🔹 Technology First: Expanded recommendations for Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) systems.
Let's work together to improve lives! 💪
