After several years of planning, discussion and review, the American Diabetes Association and European Association for the Study of Diabetes have published new guidelines for managing hyperglycemia in people with type 2 diabetes.

The new guidelines are less prescriptive than those previously in place, and call for a more patient-centered approach that allows for individual patient needs, preferences and tolerances, and takes into account differences in age and disease progression, according to a joint statement.
