The American Diabetes Association’s (ADA’s) Standards of Care in Diabetes is updated and published annually in a supplement to the January issue of Diabetes Care. The Standards are developed by the ADA’s multidisciplinary Professional Practice Committee, which comprises expert diabetes health care professionals. The Standards include the most current evidence-based recommendations for diagnosing and treating adults and children with all forms of diabetes.
On the following 44 pages, we provide an abridged version of the 2025 Standards of Care containing the evidence-based recommendations most pertinent to primary care—all presented in a user-friendly graphical format. The recommendations included here are substantively the same as in the complete Standards; the abridged version does not include references. The complete 2025 Standards of Care, including all supporting references, is available at professional.diabetes.org/standards-of-care. The abridged graphical versions of each Standards of Care section are also available at https://diabetesjournals.org/collection/2720/2025-Abridged-Standards-of-Care.
