Latest Beyond the Guidelines, In the Clinic target diabetes
An endocrinologist and a nephrologist discuss appropriate care for type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, and the evidence supporting type 2 diabetes prevention and treatment are reviewed.
In a Beyond the Guidelines feature from Annals of Internal Medicine published June 11, an endocrinologist and a nephrologist discuss the care of patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, specifically how they would apply a 2022 consensus statement from the American Diabetes Association and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes to the care of an individual diabetes patient who is unaware that he has chronic kidney disease. Beyond the Guidelines is a feature based on selected clinical conferences at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and it includes print, video, and educational components.
An In the Clinic review, also published June 11, summarizes the evidence supporting type 2 diabetes prevention and treatment, focusing on aspects that are commonly in the purview of primary care physicians. The editors of Annals develop In the Clinic with the assistance of additional physician writers, MKSAP, and other resources of ACP.
