Patients should be ?at the heart? of clinical decisions on type 2 diabetes treatment, according to ?pragmatic? new international guidance on diabetes.

The joint guideline was published yesterday by the European Association for the Study of Diabetes and the American Diabetes Association. It was launched at this year?s annual EASD meeting in Berlin.

The document is less prescriptive than previous guidance of its type, and advocates more patient involvement in choice of therapy and the setting of treatment goals.
