Every January, the American Diabetes Association updates the Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. The guidelines cover updates from diabetes advocacy to technology changes. Learn what changed and what matters most for individuals with diabetes.

• Time in range was introduced in the 2021 update and is becoming the standard of glycemic targets and control 
• Metformin may not be the first line option for type 2 diabetes – comorbid conditions and cost to the patient should be considered when determining appropriate treatment 
• More data is emerging suggesting the SGLT-2 inhibitors slow progression of diabetic neuropathy, CKD, and other comorbid conditions GLP-1 drugs may also aid in neuropathy
• In older adults with diabetes, the upper threshold of A1c goal of 8.5% may not be as global as originally thought – glycemic targets should be matched with patient status and factors
