Hi. I'm Dr Anne Peters. Today, I'm going to discuss the final version of the American Diabetes Association/European Association for the Study of Diabetes (ADA/EASD) consensus statement on the management of type 1 diabetes in adults that was presented at this year's EASD meeting.
In addition to the presentation, the consensus statement was simultaneously published in Diabetes Care and Diabetologia. We presented a draft version of this statement at the ADA, after which we opened it up to public comment. We received feedback from a wide variety of sources. Fortunately, most of the comments were easy to address, and we revised the manuscript accordingly.
Just so you recall how this consensus statement came about, the EASD and the ADA each chose seven individuals who were asked to prepare the consensus report. After about a year and a half of Zoom meetings, we were able to come out with true consensus guidelines.
How type 1 diabetes is managed does differ between various countries, but in general, the management principles are the same. There are two main points to this guideline. First, individualization of care is vital and it is extremely important to address a patient's psychosocial needs.
