Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes-2020 Abridged for Primary Care Providers

The American Diabetes Association's (ADA's) Standards of Medical 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 physicians, diabetes educators, and other 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. ADA's grading system uses A, B, C, or E to show the evidence level that supports each recommendation.
