Diabetes Guidelines from ADA how to understand them.

I keep hearing about the new diabetes guidelines each year from the ADA and EASD, but I honestly don’t understand what they mean for someone like me.

I’ve had type 2 diabetes for 8 years, I’m on metformin and insulin, and I’m trying to lose weight.

Should I be doing something differently now?

Am I supposed to switch medications, or use one of those new sensors?

It’s a bit overwhelming, and I don’t know where to start.

Can you explain it in simple terms and help me understand what I should actually do?

Thank you Dr Albana,
