UK publishes new guideline for managing type 2 Diabetes

In 2002, the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) published a suite of five guidelines dealing with different aspects of the care of type 2 diabetes. A new guideline published in 2008 is part of a series commissioned by NICE which aims to ensure that standards of care throughout England and Wales are uniformly high.

The National Collaborating Centre for Chronic Conditions (NCC-CC) at theRoyal College of Physicians UK was asked by NICE to produce this guide, amalgamating and updating the previously published work for 2008. The rising prevalence of the disease, and the range of complications which can arise, reinforce the importance of up-to-date guidance.

The guide is an invaluable resource for general physicians, diabetologists, dieticians, general practitioners, nurses and healthcare professionals who are involved in the management and care of people with type 2 diabetes.

Please find more information on the guideline here.
