The
document, updates the
2008
version. Minimum clinical and organisational requirements for an
integrated management of type 2 diabetes mellitus, including a system of
indicators, were provided. Recommendations were formulated, by a
multidisciplinary work group, according to GRADE method, which implies
an evaluation of the quality of evidence and of the patients’ values and
expectations, a benefit/risk ratio judgement and an assessment of the
practical feasibility of what is being recommended. The
multidisciplinary work group included all the key stakeholders involved
in the management of diabetes: diabetologists, internal medicine
specialists, general practitioners, representatives of patients, policy
makers, epidemiologists, diabetes nurses, dieticians, and methodologists.
A systematic review of the biomedical literature was then performed to
identify high quality scientific evidence to be appraised and discussed
by the panel. The recommendations provided by the document are aimed at
improving the quality of care for persons with diabetes through an
integrated and shared approach among all stakeholders involved. The
target audience are policy makers, practitioners, patients and all the
healthcare workers involved in the care of diabetes.
