Intensive diabetes management is a treatment paradigm wherein virtually all individuals with diabetes — type 1 or type 2 — can improve their glycemic control and overall health. The model has proven very effective and is now often the rule, rather than the exception, in diabetes care.
Intensive Diabetes Management is intended for healthcare practitioners who want to implement this method with their patients. It emphasizes a team approach to patient care and offers guidance in helping providers and patients gain the skills and confidence to move toward treatment goals appropriate for individual needs and medical conditions.
Intensive Diabetes Management, now in its 7th edition, has been revised to include the latest advances in medical research, incorporating new insights into diabetes and how they specifically impact this means of treatment.
The data, guidelines, and procedures reflect the most recent updates to the American Diabetes Association’s Standards of Care.
