A technical review is a balanced review and analysis of the literature on a scientific or medical topic related to diabetes. The technical review provides a scientific rationale for a position statement and undergoes critical peer review before submission to the Professional Practice Committee for approval. In some cases, original research publications (e.g., Diabetes Control and Complications Trial Study), conference proceedings (e.g., Gestational Diabetes Conference), or other comprehensive review articles are used as the basis for a position statement instead of a technical review.
