Guidelines
Standards of medical care in diabetes—2015.
The ADA’s Standards of Care provide clinicians, patients, researchers, payers, and other interested individuals with the components of good diabetes management, general treatment goals, and tools to evaluate the quality of care. Importantly, these recommendations should be adjusted based on individual preferences, comorbidities, and other patient-related factors.

AACE/ACE comprehensive diabetes management algorithm 2015.
This algorithm from the AACE addresses evaluating the whole patient, potential risks and complications, and evidence-based treatment approaches for diabetes. The document contains sections on obesity, prediabetes, hyperglycemia therapy (lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, and insulin), hypertension management, hyperlipidemia treatment, and other risk-reduction strategies.
