The American Diabetes Association?s newly released 2013 edition of its annual ?Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes? recommends two notable changes:
A recommendation that diabetes patients have their blood pressure tested during every routine visit to their healthcare providers and that the target treatment goal for high blood pressure be revised from <130 mm Hg to <140 mm Hg.
A change in the frequency the ADA recommends that people with type 1 diabetes test their blood glucose levels from ?three or more times? per day to event-specific times that may call for much more testing.

Good to see that they are recognising the need to to test for a wide variety of reasons 🙂
