"ADA's 2024 Standards of Care: New Recommendations for Screening, Obesity Management, and Diabetes Care"

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has released updated Standards of Care for 2024, which include new recommendations for screening heart failure, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and type 1 diabetes risk, as well as guidance for obesity management. The document, developed by a panel of healthcare professionals, emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention for these conditions. Other revisions in the 2024 document cover bone health, disability assessment, liver disease screening, and management. Clinicians can access the Standards of Care app for quick reference, and patient priorities should be considered during visits.
