Type: article
Abstract: Diabetes care extends beyond glycaemic \ncontrol, and several interventions to improve diabetes outcome are supported by evidence from large trials. \nMost of the recommendations included here \nare based on the Society for Endocrinology, \nMetabolism and Diabetes of South Africa \n(SEMDSA) guidelines for type 2 diabetes, \nand on those of the International Diabetes \nFederation (IDF) and the American Diabetes \nAssociation (ADA).1-3 Guidelines for diabetes management are not rigid, and should be modified according to an individual patient’s co-morbidities and other patient factors.
