Notable updates to the Standards of Care in Diabetes—2025 include:
The ADA annually updates its Standards of Care through the efforts of its Professional Practice Committee (PPC). Comprising global experts from diverse professional backgrounds, the PPC includes physicians, nurse practitioners, certified diabetes care and education specialists, registered dietitian nutritionists, pharmacists, and methodologists. Its members hold expertise in a range of related fields. The 2025 Standards of Care has garnered endorsements from the American College of Cariology (Section 10), the American Geriatrics Society (Section 13), the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research (Bone Health, Section 4), and the Obesity Society (Section 8).
Other noteworthy changes include:
"Improving the lives of people affected by diabetes is a key part of the ADA's mission. The Standards of Care offers the trusted support needed for people living with diabetes and those caring for them to manage the disease and thrive until we find a cure," said Charles "Chuck" Henderson, the ADA's chief executive officer.
The Standards of Care in Diabetes—2025 is now available online as a supplement to the January 2025 issue of Diabetes Care®. In addition, a convenient Standards of Care app, available for iOS and Android systems, offers the latest guidelines with interactive tables and algorithms for easy reference. Additional resources, including a comprehensive slide deck and a webcast offering continuing education (CE) credit, are available on the ADA's professional website DiabetesPro®. A quick-reference pocket chart will soon be available for purchase on ShopDiabetes.org. For primary care providers, the Abridged Standards of Care, developed by the ADA's Primary Care Advisory Group, is planned for release in Spring 2025 in Clinical Diabetes®. Through the "living" Standards of Care process, the online version, abridged guidelines, and all related materials will be updated in real time throughout the year to reflect the latest evidence and regulatory changes.
