What are the recommendations of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) for managing hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes?
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) have issued consensus guidelines for managing hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes. These guidelines recommend targeting an A1C level of less than 7.0%, with individualized goals for each patient. Additionally, they recommend lifestyle modifications including healthy eating, physical activity, and weight loss, if necessary. The guidelines also suggest the use of oral medications or insulin to help achieve glycemic control, as well as the monitoring of blood glucose levels.
