An elevated blood pressure is defined as a systolic blood pressure 120129 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure <80 mmHg (17).,-1
Hypertension is common among people with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.,-1
"Hypertension is a major risk factor for ASCVD, heart failure, and microvascular complications.",1
"Elevated values should preferably be confirmed on a separate day; however, in individuals with cardiovascular disease and blood pressure =180/110 mmHg, it is reasonable to diagnose hypertension at a single visit (19).",-1
"In adults with diabetes, it is reasonable to obtain a lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides) at the time of diagnosis, at the initial medical evaluation, and at least every 5 years thereafter in individuals <40 years of age.",-1
"If LDL cholesterol levels are not responding in spite of medication taking, clinical judgment is recommended to determine the need for and timing of lipid panels.",-1
"In individual patients, the highly variable LDL cholesterol�lowering response seen with statins is poorly understood (91).",-1
This approach acknowledges that the benefits and risks of intensive blood pressure targets are uncertain and may vary across individuals and is consistent with a person-focused approach to care that values individual priorities and health care professional judgment (38).,-1
"Potential adverse effects of antihypertensive therapy (e.g., hypotension, syncope, falls, AKI, and electrolyte abnormalities) should also be taken into account (32,34,42,43).",2
Randomized clinical trials have demonstrated unequivocally that treatment of hypertension reduces cardiovascular events as well as microvascular complications (2531).,3
The committee recognizes that there has been no randomized controlled trial to specifically demonstrate a decreased incidence of cardiovascular events in people with diabetes by targeting a blood pressure <130/80 mmHg.,-1
The recently completed Strategy of Blood Pressure Intervention in the Elderly Hypertensive Patients (STEP) trial included nearly 20% of people with diabetes and noted decreased cardiovascular events with treatment of hypertension to a blood pressure target of <130 mmHg (33).,3
"Notably, there is an absence of high-quality data available to guide blood pressure targets in people with type 1 diabetes, but a similar blood pressure target of <130/80 mmHg is recommended in people with type 1 diabetes.",-1
The prespecified secondary outcome of stroke was significantly reduced by 41% in the intensive treatment group.,3
"The results have been interpreted to be generally consistent between both trials, but ACCORD BP was viewed as underpowered due to the composite primary end point being less sensitive to blood pressure regulation (32).",-1
"Hypotension occurred more frequently in the intensive treatment group (3.4%) compared with the standard treatment group (2.6%), without significant differences in other adverse events, including dizziness, syncope, or fractures.",3
This benefit was greatest in people with diabetes.,2
More intensive reduction to <130 mmHg was associated with a further reduction in stroke but not other cardiovascular events.,2
The Control of Hypertension in Pregnancy Study (CHIPS) (46) enrolled mostly women with chronic hypertension.,-1
"In CHIPS, targeting a diastolic blood pressure of 85 mmHg during pregnancy was associated with reduced likelihood of developing accelerated maternal hypertension and no demonstrable adverse outcome for infants compared with targeting a higher diastolic blood pressure.",2
"The mean systolic blood pressure achieved in the more intensively treated group was 133.1 � 0.5 mmHg, and the mean diastolic blood pressure achieved in that group was 85.3 � 0.3 mmHg.",0
The mean systolic blood pressure between randomization and delivery was 129.5 mmHg in the active treatment group and 132.6 mmHg in the control group.,0
"See Section 15, �Management of Diabetes in Pregnancy,� for additional information.",-1
"Lifestyle management is an important component of hypertension treatment because it lowers blood pressure, enhances the effectiveness of some antihypertensive medications, promotes other aspects of metabolic and vascular health, and generally leads to few adverse effects.",3
"Lifestyle therapy consists of reducing excess body weight through caloric restriction (see Section 8, �Obesity and Weight Management for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes�), at least 150 min of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week (see Section 3, �Prevention or Delay of Diabetes and Associated Comorbidities�), restricting sodium intake (<2,300 mg/day), increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables (8�10 servings per day) and low-fat dairy products (2�3 servings per day), avoiding excessive alcohol consumption (no more than 2 servings per day in men and no more than 1 serving per day in women) (52), and increasing activity levels (53) (see Section 5, �Facilitating Positive Health Behaviors and Well-being to Improve Health Outcomes�).",-1
These lifestyle interventions are reasonable for individuals with diabetes and mildly elevated blood pressure (systolic >120 mmHg or diastolic >80 mmHg) and should be initiated along with pharmacologic therapy when hypertension is diagnosed (Fig. 10.2 ) (53).,-1
"Inadequate nutritional intake, particularly inadequate protein intake, can increase the risk of sarcopenia and frailty in older adults.",3
"The benefits of a structured exercise program (as in the Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders [LIFE] study) in frail older adults include reducing sedentary time, preventing mobility disability, and reducing frailty (76,77).",3
"While the Look AHEAD trial did not achieve its primary outcome of reducing cardiovascular events, the intensive lifestyle intervention had multiple clinical benefits that are important to the quality of life of older adults.",3
"Additionally, several subgroups, including participants who lost at least 10% of baseline body weight at year 1, had improved cardiovascular outcomes (81).",3
"In age-stratified analyses, older adults in the trial (60 to early 70s) had similar benefits compared with younger people (83,84).",3
"Cognitive decline has been associated with increased risk of hypoglycemia, and conversely, severe hypoglycemia has been linked to increased risk of dementia (30�32).",1
"Therefore, as discussed in Recommendation 13.3, it is important to routinely screen older adults for cognitive impairment and dementia and discuss findings with the individuals and their caregivers.",-1
"Some older adults with diabetes have other underlying chronic conditions, substantial diabetes-related comorbidity, limited cognitive or physical functioning, or frailty (48,49).",0
"Notably, the Life Expectancy Estimator for Older Adults with Diabetes (LEAD) tool was developed and validated among older adults with diabetes, and a high risk score was strongly associated with having a life expectancy of <5 years (52).",0
Older adults also vary in their preferences for the intensity and mode of glucose management (54).,0
"Health care professionals caring for older adults with diabetes must take this heterogeneity into consideration when setting and prioritizing treatment goals (9,10) (Table 13.1 ).",-1
"Many conditions associated with increased red blood cell turnover, such as hemodialysis, recent blood loss or transfusion, or erythropoietin therapy, are commonly seen in older adults and can falsely increase or decrease A1C.",1
"Older adults who can be expected to live long enough to realize the benefits of long-term intensive diabetes management, who have good cognitive and physical function, and who choose to do so via shared decision-making may be treated using therapeutic interventions and goals similar to those for younger adults with diabetes (Table 13.1 ).",-1
"In addition, declining or impaired ability to perform diabetes self-care behaviors may be an indication that an older person with diabetes needs a referral for cognitive and physical functional assessment, using age-normalized evaluation tools, as well as help establishing a support structure for diabetes care (3,28).",-1
"However, those with poorly managed diabetes may be subject to acute complications of diabetes, including dehydration, poor wound healing, and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar coma.",0
Factors to consider for individualizing glycemic goals are outlined in Fig. 6.2.,-1
"Ongoing empiric research on the classification of older adults with diabetes based on comorbid illness has repeatedly found three major classes of patients: a healthy, a geriatric, and a cardiovascular class (9,61,66).",-1
"The geriatric class has the highest prevalence of obesity, hypertension, arthritis, and incontinence, and the cardiovascular class has the highest prevalence of myocardial infarctions, heart failure, and stroke.",0
"Compared with the healthy class, the cardiovascular class has the highest risk of frailty and subsequent mortality.",0
"(Note from Table) Coexisting chronic illnesses are conditions serious enough to require medications or lifestyle management and may include arthritis, cancer, heart failure, depression, emphysema, falls, hypertension, incontinence, stage 3 or worse chronic kidney disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke. �Multiple� means at least three, but many individuals may have five or more (74).",-1
The utility of screening with A1C for prediabetes and diabetes may be limited in the presence of hemoglobinopathies and conditions that affect red blood cell turnover.,0
"In the DPP/DPPOS, progression to diabetes, duration of diabetes, and mean level of glycemia were important determinants of the development of microvascular complications (10).",3
"Several major randomized controlled trials, including the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) trial (4), the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study (DPS) (5), and the Da Qing Diabetes Prevention Study (Da Qing study) (6), demonstrate that lifestyle/behavioral intervention with an individualized reduced-calorie meal plan is highly effective in preventing or delaying type 2 diabetes and improving other cardiometabolic risk factors (such as blood pressure, lipids, and inflammation) (7).",3
The DPP lifestyle intervention was a goal-based intervention.,-1
"The two major goals of the DPP intensive lifestyle intervention were to achieve and maintain a minimum of 7% weight loss and 150 min of moderate-intensity physical activity per week, such as brisk walking.",-1
"Calorie goals were calculated by estimating the daily calories needed to maintain the participant�s initial weight and subtracting 500�1,000 calories/day (depending on initial body weight).",-1
"After several weeks, the concept of calorie balance and the need to restrict calories and fat was introduced (11).",-1
"Because the intensive lifestyle intervention in the DPP was effective in preventing type 2 diabetes among those at high risk for the disease and lifestyle behavior change programs for diabetes prevention were shown to be cost-effective, broader efforts to disseminate scalable lifestyle behavior change programs for diabetes prevention with coverage by third-party payers ensued (34�38).",3
"During the first 4 years of implementation of the CDC�s National DPP, 36% achieved the 5% weight loss goal (44).",-1
"Therefore, other programs and modalities of behavioral counseling for diabetes prevention may also be appropriate and efficacious based on individual preferences and availability.",1
"However, coverage by third-party payers remains limited.",-1
"Counseling by a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) has been shown to help individuals with prediabetes improve eating habits, increase physical activity, and achieve 7�10% weight loss (13,49�51).",3
"People with prediabetes often have other cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension and dyslipidemia (100), and are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease (101,102).",0
"Of note, the years immediately following smoking cessation may represent a time of increased risk for diabetes (103�105), and individuals should be monitored for diabetes development and receive evidence-based lifestyle behavior change for diabetes prevention described in this section.",0
"See Section 5, �Facilitating Positive Health Behaviors and Well-being to Improve Health Outcomes,� for more detailed information.",-1
Increased vigilance is warranted to identify and treat these and other cardiovascular diseases risk factors (108).,-1
Health care professionals are encouraged to consider the burden of treatment (9) and the person�s level of confidence and self-efficacy for management behaviors as well as the level of social and family support when providing DSMES.,-1
"As the use of judgmental words is associated with increased feelings of shame and guilt, health care professionals are encouraged to consider the impact that language has on building therapeutic relationships and should choose positive, strength-based words and phrases that put people first (4,12).",2
Ongoing DSMES helps people with diabetes to maintain effective self-management throughout the life course as they encounter new challenges and as advances in treatment become available (14).,2
"People with prediabetes at a healthy weight should also be considered for behavioral interventions to help establish routine aerobic and resistance exercise (107,110,111) as well as to establish healthy eating patterns.",1
"In select individuals with type 2 diabetes, an overall healthy eating plan that results in energy deficit in conjunction with weight loss medications and/or metabolic surgery should be considered to help achieve weight loss and maintenance goals, lower A1C, and reduce CVD risk (108,121,122).",3
Members of the health care team should complement MNT by providing evidence-based guidance that helps people with diabetes make healthy food choices that meet their individualized needs and improve overall health.,-1
"As stated previously, there is insufficient evidence to select one over the other (137,141,142,145�154).",3
"Referral to and ongoing support from an RDN is essential to assess the overall nutrition status of, and to work collaboratively with, the person with diabetes to create a personalized meal plan that coordinates and aligns with the overall lifestyle treatment plan, including physical activity and medication use.",-1
Using shared decision-making to collaboratively select a method for how to execute the plan may be part of the nutrition care process.,-1
An RCT found that two meal-planning approaches (diabetes plate method and carbohydrate counting) were effective in helping achieve improved A1C (150).,3
"Intermittent fasting is an umbrella term that includes three main forms of restricted eating: alternate-day fasting (energy restriction of 500�600 calories on alternate days), the 5:2 diet (energy restriction of 500�600 calories on consecutive or nonconsecutive days with usual intake the other five), and time-restricted eating (daily calorie restriction based on window of time of 8�15 h).",-1
"Because of the simplicity of intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating, these may be useful strategies for people with diabetes who are looking for practical eating management tools.",-1
Use of partial meal replacements or total meal replacements is an additional tool or strategy for energy restriction.,-1
"Regardless of the eating pattern, meal plan, and/or dietary approach selected, long-term follow-up and support from members of the diabetes care team are needed to optimize self-efficacy and maintain behavioral changes (140).",2
Some preliminary studies show cardiometabolic benefits when food is consumed earlier (169).,3
"Risk can vary depending on the type of diabetes, type of therapy, and presence and severity of diabetes-related complications (175).",0
"Education regarding glucose checking, medication/fluid adjustment, timing and intensity of physical activity, and meal choices pre- and post-fast should be provided (176).",-1
Specific recommendations for diabetes management during Ramadan (175) and Yom Kippur (172) are available.,-1
"For people with type 2 diabetes, low-carbohydrate and very-low-carbohydrate eating patterns in particular have been found to reduce A1C and the need for antihyperglycemic medications (139,180�184).",3
"Health care professionals should maintain consistent medical oversight and recognize that insulin and other diabetes medications may need to be adjusted to prevent hypoglycemia, and blood pressure will need to be monitored.",-1
"People with diabetes and those at risk for diabetes are encouraged to consume a minimum of 14 g of fiber/1,000 kcal, with at least half of grain consumption being whole, intact grains, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (98).",-1
"The glycemic index ranks carbohydrate foods on their postprandial glycemic response, and glycemic load takes into account both the glycemic index of foods and the amount of carbohydrate eaten.",-1
"In addition, education on using insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios for meal planning can assist individuals with effectively modifying insulin dosing from meal to meal to improve glycemic management (104,178,206�208).",2
The effectiveness of insulin dosing decisions should be confirmed with a structured approach to blood glucose monitoring or CGM to evaluate individual responses and guide insulin dose adjustments.,-1
"For individuals on a fixed daily insulin schedule, meal planning should emphasize a relatively fixed carbohydrate consumption pattern with respect to both time and amount while considering insulin action.",-1
"Commercially available automated insulin delivery systems still require basic diabetes management skills, including carbohydrate counting and understanding of the impact of protein and fat on postprandial glucose response (222).",-1
"Historically, low-protein eating plans were advised for individuals with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) (with albuminuria and/or reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate); however, current evidence does not suggest that people with DKD need to restrict protein to less than the generally recommended protein intake (73).",3
"Evidence suggests that there is not an optimal percentage of calories from fat for people with or at risk for diabetes and that macronutrient distribution should be individualized according to the individual�s eating patterns, preferences, and metabolic goals (73).",2
"In the ASCEND (A Study of Cardiovascular Events iN Diabetes) trial, when compared with placebo, supplementation with n-3 fatty acids at a dose of 1 g/day did not lead to cardiovascular benefit in people with diabetes without evidence of CVD (243).",3
"However, results from the Reduction of Cardiovascular Events With Icosapent Ethyl-Intervention Trial (REDUCE-IT) found that supplementation with 4 g/day of pure eicosapentaenoic acid significantly lowered the risk of adverse cardiovascular events.",3
"People with diabetes should be advised to follow the guidelines for the general population for the recommended intakes of saturated fat, dietary cholesterol, and trans fat (98).",-1
Estimates show that up to 59% of people with diabetes in the U.S. use supplements (250).,-1
Further research is needed to define individual characteristics and clinical indicators where vitamin D supplementation may be of benefit.,-1
It should be noted the systematic analysis that informed the World Health Organization recommendation excluded individuals with diabetes.,-1
"Issues of duration of exposure (short or long), different physical forms (packets/powder or in beverages), cardiometabolic health of the host, personalized individual response, presence of other nutrient components, the emerging evidence about the microbiome, and limited RCTs complicate the science (273).",-1
"NNS do not appear to have a significant effect on glycemic management (104,276,277), and they can reduce overall calorie and carbohydrate intake (104,274) as long as individuals are not compensating with additional calories from other food sources (73,278).",2
Health care professionals should continue to recommend reductions in sugar intake and calories with or without the use of NNS.,-1
Health care professionals can regularly assess individual use of NNS based on the acceptable daily intake (amount of a substance considered safe to consume each day over a person�s life) and recommend moderation.,-1
See the chart from the FDA on safe levels of sweeteners found at fda.gov/food/food-additives-petitions/aspartame-and-other-sweeteners-food.,-1
Exercise is a more specific form of physical activity that is structured and designed to improve physical fitness.,-1
"Exercise has been shown to improve blood glucose levels, reduce cardiovascular risk factors, contribute to weight loss, and improve well-being (286).",3
"Objective measurement by accelerometer in 871 individuals with type 2 diabetes showed that 44.2%, 42.6%, and 65.1% of White, African American, and Hispanic individuals, respectively, met the recommended threshold of exercise (287).",0
"Another RCT, including 324 individuals with prediabetes, showed increased physical activity at 8 weeks with supportive text messages, but by 12 weeks there was no difference between groups (289).",3
"It is important for diabetes care management teams to understand the difficulty that many people have reaching recommended treatment goals and to identify individualized approaches to improve goal achievement, which may need to change over time.",-1
Moderate to high volumes of aerobic activity are associated with substantially lower cardiovascular and overall mortality risks in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes (290).,2
"Increased physical activity (soccer training) has also been shown to be beneficial for improving overall fitness in Latino men with obesity, demonstrating feasible methods to increase physical activity in this population (298).",3
Recommendations should be tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual (297).,-1
"For all people with diabetes, evaluate baseline physical activity and time spent in sedentary behavior (quiet sitting, lying, and leaning).",-1
Adults able to run at 6 miles/h (9.7 km/h) for at least 25 min can benefit sufficiently from shorter durations of vigorous-intensity activity or interval training (75 min/week) (297).,3
"Many adults, including most with type 2 diabetes, may be unable or unwilling to participate in such intense exercise and should engage in moderate exercise for the recommended duration.",-1
"If not contraindicated, people with type 2 diabetes should be encouraged to do at least two weekly sessions of resistance exercise (free weights, machines, elastic bands, or body weight as resistance), with each session consisting of at least one set (group of consecutive repetitive exercise motions) of five or more different resistance exercises involving the large muscle groups (320).",-1
This variability should be taken into consideration when recommending the type and duration of exercise for a given individual (293).,-1
"HIIT has gained attention as a potentially time-efficient modality that can elicit significant physiological and metabolic adaptations for individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes (321,322).",2
HIIT showed reductions in A1C and BMI and improvement in fitness levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.,3
"Certainly, those with high risk should be encouraged to start with short periods of low-intensity exercise and slowly increase the duration and intensity as tolerated.",-1
"Health care professionals should assess for conditions that might contraindicate certain types of exercise or predispose to injury, such as uncontrolled hypertension, untreated proliferative retinopathy, autonomic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, balance impairment, and a history of foot ulcers or Charcot foot.",-1
Age and previous physical activity level should be considered when customizing the exercise plan to the individual�s needs.,-1
"Individuals on these therapies may need to ingest some added carbohydrate if pre-exercise glucose levels are <90 mg/dL (<5.0 mmol/L), depending on whether they are able to lower insulin doses during the workout (such as with an insulin pump or reduced pre-exercise insulin dosage), the time of day exercise is done, and the intensity and duration of the activity (293).",-1
"Intense activities may actually raise blood glucose levels instead of lowering them, especially if pre-exercise glucose levels are elevated (293).",2
All individuals with peripheral neuropathy should wear proper footwear and examine their feet daily to detect lesions early.,-1
Diabetic Kidney Disease Physical activity can acutely increase urinary albumin excretion.,3
"As individuals intensify their exercise program, medical monitoring may be indicated to ensure safety and evaluate the effects on glucose management.",-1
"(See physical activity and glycemic management, below.)",-1
"There is strong evidence that exercise interventions in individuals with type 2 diabetes improve depression, A1C, and overall psychosocial well-being (318).",3
"Participating in leisure-time activity and avoiding extended sedentary periods may help prevent type 2 diabetes for those at risk and may also aid in glycemic management for those with diabetes (312,313).",1
A causal link between cigarette smoking and diabetes has been established and reported on by the Surgeon General for over a decade (332).,3
"While post-cessation weight gain is an identified issue, studies have found that an average weight gain of 3�5 kg does not necessarily persist long term or diminish the substantial cardiovascular benefit realized from smoking cessation (337).",2
"It is known that smokeless tobacco products, such as dip and chew, pose an increased risk for CVD (348).",3
Diabetes education programs offer potential to systematically reach and engage individuals with diabetes in smoking cessation efforts.,-1
"A cluster randomized trial found statistically significant increases in quit rates and long-term abstinence rates (>6 months) when smoking cessation interventions were offered through diabetes education clinics, regardless of motivation to quit at baseline (360).",3
Evidence supports using a variety of behavioral strategies and multicomponent interventions to help people with diabetes and their caregivers or family members develop health behavior routines and overcome barriers to self-management behaviors (363365).,3
"There is mixed evidence about behavioral economics strategies (e.g., financial incentives and exposure to information about social norms) to promote engagement in health behaviors among people with diabetes; such strategies tend to enhance intentions and demonstrate short-term benefits for behavior change, although there is less evidence about sustained effects (374).",3
"Thus, individuals with diabetes and their families are challenged with complex, multifaceted issues when integrating diabetes care into daily life (384).",-1
Clinically significant behavioral health diagnoses are considerably more prevalent in people with diabetes than in those without (385387).,0
"Referrals for in-depth assessment and treatment for psychosocial concerns should be made to such behavioral health professionals when indicated (381,402,403).",-1
"However, cost analyses have shown that behavioral health interventions are both effective and cost-efficient approaches to the prevention of diabetes (405).",3
"Successful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral (400,402,429,430) and mindfulness-based therapies (427,431,432).",3
See the sections below for details about interventions for specific psychological concerns.,-1
"Group-based or shared diabetes appointments that address both medical and psychosocial issues relevant to living with diabetes are a promising model to consider (397,438).",1
"Although efficacy has been demonstrated with psychosocial interventions, there has been varying success regarding sustained increases in engagement in health behaviors and improved glycemic outcomes associated with behavioral health issues.",3
"Topics to screen for may include, but are not limited to, attitudes about diabetes, expectations for treatment and outcomes (especially related to starting a new treatment or technology), general and diabetes-related mood, stress, and/or quality of life (e.g., diabetes distress, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and/or fear of hypoglycemia), available resources (financial, social, family, and emotional), and/or psychiatric history.",-1
"Thus, screening for SDOH (e.g., loss of employment, birth of a child, or other family-based stresses) should also be incorporated into routine care (423).",-1
"The ADA provides access to tools for screening specific psychosocial topics, such as diabetes distress, fear of hypoglycemia, and other relevant psychological symptoms at professional.diabetes.org/sites/default/files/media/ada_mental_health_toolkit_questionnaires.pdf.",-1
"Diabetes care professionals should also ask whether there are new or different barriers to treatment and self-management, such as feeling overwhelmed or stressed by having diabetes (see diabetes distress, below), changes in finances, or competing medical demands (e.g., the diagnosis of a comorbid condition).",-1
"When psychosocial concerns are identified, referral to a qualified behavioral health professional, ideally one specializing in diabetes, should be made for comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment (380,381,402,403).",-1
"Indications for referral may include positive screening for overall stress related to work-life balance, diabetes distress, diabetes management difficulties, depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and cognitive dysfunction (see Table 5.2 for a complete list).",-1
"In recognition of limited behavioral health resources and to optimize availability, other health care professionals who have been trained in behavioral health interventions may also provide this specialized psychosocial care (396,399,426,427).",-1
"This may include specific diabetes education to address areas of diabetes self-care causing distress and impacting clinical management and/or behavioral intervention from a qualified behavioral health professional, ideally one with expertise in diabetes, or from another trained health care professional.",-1
"Several educational and behavioral intervention strategies have demonstrated benefits for diabetes distress and, to a lesser degree, glycemic outcomes, including education, psychological therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based therapies, and health behavior change approaches, such as motivational interviewing (429,430,446,447).",3
"An RCT among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes found mindful self-compassion training increased self-compassion, reduced depression and diabetes distress, and improved A1C (454).",3
"DSMES should be person-centered; this is an approach that places the person with diabetes and their family and/or support system at the center of the care model, working in collaboration with health care professionals.",-1
"Person-centered care is respectful of and responsive to individual and cultural preferences, needs, and values.",-1
Members of the DSMES team should have specialized clinical knowledge of diabetes and behavior change principles.,-1
"Certification as a DCES (cbdce.org/) and/or board certification in advanced diabetes management (diabeteseducator.org/education/certification/bc_adm) demonstrates an individual�s specialized training in and understanding of diabetes management and support (56), and engagement with qualified professionals has been shown to improve diabetes-related outcomes (74).",3
"Additionally, it is important to include social determinants of health (SDOH) of the target population in guiding design and delivery of DSMES.",-1
"The DSMES team should consider demographic characteristics such as race, ethnic/cultural background, sex/gender, age, geographic location, technology access, education, literacy, and numeracy (56,83).",-1
"Factors related to greater fear of hypoglycemia in people with diabetes and family members include history of nocturnal hypoglycemia, presence of other psychological concerns, and sleep concerns (460).",1
"See Section 6, �Glycemic Goals and Hypoglycemia,� for more information about impaired awareness of hypoglycemia and related fear of hypoglycemia.",-1
People with diabetes who exhibit excessive diabetes self-management behaviors well beyond what is prescribed or needed to achieve glycemic goals may be experiencing symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (462).,0
"Among adults with type 2 diabetes and elevated depressive symptoms, an RCT of collaborative care demonstrated benefits on anxiety symptoms for up to 1 year (464).",3
"An RCT of CBT for adults with type 2 diabetes showed a reduction in health anxiety, with CBT accounting for 77% of the reduction in health anxiety at 16 weeks of follow-up; this trial also found decreased depressive symptoms and diabetes distress (465).",3
"History of depression, current depression, and antidepressant medication use are risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes, especially if the individual has other risk factors, such as obesity and family history of type 2 diabetes (467�469).",1
Adults with a history of depressive symptoms need ongoing monitoring of depression recurrence within the context of routine care (467),-1
Integrating behavioral and physical health care can improve outcomes.,3
Physical activity interventions also demonstrate benefits for depressive symptoms and A1C (318).,3
It is important to note that the medical treatment plan should also be monitored in response to reduction in depressive symptoms.,-1
Estimated prevalence of disordered eating behavior and diagnosable eating disorders in people with diabetes varies (481483).,-1
"Studies of individuals with serious mental illness, particularly schizophrenia and other thought disorders, show significantly increased rates of type 2 diabetes (497).",0
"Disordered thinking and judgment can be expected to make it difficult to engage in behavior that reduces risk factors for type 2 diabetes, such as restrained eating for weight management.",1
"When a person has an established diagnosis of a mental illness that impacts judgment, activities of daily living, and ability to establish a collaborative relationship with care professionals, it is helpful to include a nonmedical caretaker in decision-making regarding the medical treatment plan.",-1
"The diabetes care team, in collaboration with other care professionals, should work to provide an enhanced level of care and self-management support for people with diabetes and serious mental illness based on individual capacity and needs.",-1
"Such care may include remote monitoring, facilitating health care aides, and providing diabetes training for family members, community support personnel, and other caregivers.",-1
"Cognitive capacity is generally defined as attention, memory, logic and reasoning, and auditory and visual processing, all of which are involved in diabetes self-management behavior (502).",-1
Executive functioning is an aspect of cognitive capacity that has particular relevance to diabetes management.,-1
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder has been linked with twice the risk of type 2 diabetes (509).,1
Cognitive capacity also contributes to ability to benefit from diabetes education and may indicate the need for alternative teaching approaches as well as remote monitoring.,2
"Youth will need second-party monitoring (e.g., parents and adult caregivers) until they are developmentally able to evaluate necessary information for self-management decisions and to inform resultant behavior changes.",-1
Episodes of severe hypoglycemia are independently associated with decline as well as the more immediate symptoms of mental confusion (512).,2
"Cognitive capacity should be evaluated in the context of the person�s age, for example, in very young children who are not expected to manage their disease independently and in older adults who may need active monitoring of treatment plan behaviors.",-1
"Strong evidence now exists on the benefits of virtual, telehealth, telephone-based, or internet-based DSMES for diabetes prevention and management in a wide variety of populations and age-groups of people with diabetes (44�56).",3
These methods provide comparable or even improved outcomes compared with traditional in-person care (63).,3
"Similarly, DSMES plus intermittently scanned CGM has demonstrated increased time in range (70�180 mg/dL [3.9�10.0 mmol/L]), less time above range, and a greater reduction in A1C compared with DSMES alone (66).",3
"Incorporating a systematic approach for technology assessment, adoption, and integration into the care plan may help ensure equity in access and standardized application of technology-enabled solutions (www.diabeteseducator.org/danatech/home) (8,31,67�70).",-1
"Additionally, people with diabetes who perform shift work increase their risk for circadian rhythm disorders, which are associated with higher A1C (536), neuropathy (537), and decreased psychological well-being (537).",2
"As for the general population, there are evidence-based strategies to improve sleep for people with diabetes.",2
"Thus, diabetes care professionals are encouraged to counsel people with diabetes to use sleep-promoting routines and practices, such as establishing a regular bedtime and rise time, creating a dark, quiet area for sleep with temperature and humidity control, establishing a pre-sleep routine, putting electronic devices (except diabetes management devices) in silent/off mode, exercising during the day, avoiding daytime naps, limiting caffeine and nicotine in the evening, avoiding spicy foods at night, and avoiding alcohol before bedtime (548).",-1
"For people with diabetes who have significant sleep difficulties, referral to sleep specialists to address the medical and behavioral aspects of sleep is recommended, ideally in collaboration with the diabetes care professional (Fig. 5.1). ",-1
"Medicare reimburses DSMES when that service meets the national standards (2,56) and is recognized by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) through the Education Recognition Program (professional.diabetes.org/diabetes-education) or by the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (diabeteseducator.org/practice/diabetes-education-accreditation-program).",-1
DSMES is also covered by most health insurance plans.,-1
Ongoing support has been shown to be instrumental for improving outcomes when it is implemented after the completion of education services.,2
"During the time of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, reimbursement policies were revised (professional.diabetes.org/content-page/dsmes-and-mnt-during-covid-19-national-pandemic), and these changes may provide a new reimbursement paradigm for future provision of DSMES through telehealth channels.",-1
"Low participation may be due to lack of referral or other identified barriers, such as logistical issues (accessibility, timing, and costs) and the lack of a perceived benefit (85).",1
"Thus, in addition to educating referring health care professionals about the benefits of DSMES and the critical times to refer, efforts need to be made to identify and address potential barriers at each level (2).",-1
"An RCT testing DSMES in a virtual environment demonstrated greater weight loss but similar decreases in A1C, blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides compared with DSMES via a standard website (88).",3
"Even now, in 2024, the science of nutrition for diabetes continues to evolve.",-1
"Contained in the report is an important and often repeated tenet, i.e., there is not a one-size-fits-all eating pattern for individuals with diabetes, and meal planning should be individualized.",-1
See Table 5.1 for specific nutrition recommendations.,-1
"Because of the progressive nature of type 2 diabetes, behavior modification alone may not be adequate to maintain euglycemia over time.",1
"As such, treatment goals for both glycemia and weight are recommended in people with diabetes to address both hyperglycemia and its underlying pathophysiologic driver (obesity) and therefore benefit the person holistically.",-1
"Health care professionals should evaluate systemic, structural, and socioeconomic factors that may impact food choices, access to healthful foods, and nutrition patterns; behavioral patterns, such as neighborhood safety and availability of safe outdoor spaces for physical activity; environmental exposures; access to health care; social contexts; and, ultimately, diabetes risk and outcomes.",-1
"Furthermore, due to the high risk of complications (electrolyte abnormalities, severe fatigue, cardiac arrhythmias, etc.), such intensive intervention should be prescribed only to carefully selected individuals, such as those requiring weight loss and/or glycemic management before a needed surgery, if the benefits exceed the potential risks (67�69).",2
"As weight recurrence is common, such interventions should include long-term, comprehensive weight maintenance strategies and counseling to maintain weight loss and behavioral changes (70,71).",3
High-quality published studies show little or no weight loss benefits.,3
"Clinical considerations, such as the presence of comorbid heart failure or unexplained weight change, may warrant more frequent evaluation (34,35).",-1
Anthropometric measurements should be performed and reported nonjudgmentally; such information should be regarded as sensitive health information.,-1
"Among people with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity who have inadequate glycemic, blood pressure, and lipid management and/or other obesity-related metabolic complications, modest and sustained weight loss (3�7% of body weight) improves glycemia, blood pressure, and lipids and may reduce the need for disease-specific medications (7�9,40).",3
"In people at risk, 3�7% weight loss reduces progression to diabetes (2,7,8,41,42).",3
"Shared decision-making should be used when counseling on behavioral changes, intervention choices, and weight management goals.",-1
"Secondary analyses of the Look AHEAD trial and other large cardiovascular outcome studies document additional weight loss benefits in people with type 2 diabetes, including improved mobility, physical and sexual function, and health-related quality of life (34).",3
Such interventions should be provided by trained individuals and can be conducted in either individual or group sessions (54).,-1
"Assessing a person�s motivation level, life circumstances, and willingness to implement behavioral changes to achieve weight loss should be considered along with medical status when such interventions are recommended and initiated (38,60).",-1
"Using meal replacement plans prescribed by trained practitioners, with close monitoring, can be beneficial.",2
"Within the intensive lifestyle intervention group of the Look AHEAD trial, for example, the use of a partial meal replacement plan was associated with improvements in nutrition quality and weight loss (54), and improvement in cardiovascular risk factors (41).",2
"In a systematic review and meta-analysis, efficacy and safety of meal replacements (partial or total meal replacement) as compared with conventional diets showed improvements in A1C, FBG, body weight, and BMI (58).",3
"In the most recent ESC/EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) EUROASPIRE surveys, history of hypertension was present in 80% of men and 87% of women with known diabetes and in 74% of men and 81% of women with newly diagnosed diabetes with a history of coronary heart disease (CHD) (191).",0
"In patients with CVD and values >180/110 mmHg, it could be reasonable to diagnose hypertension at a single visit (192).",-1
There is some evidence from RCTs that BP targets during pregnancy should range from 110 to 135 mmHg for SBP and 80 to 85 mmHg for DBP (228).,1
"Women usually show greater differences in BP and higher proportions of hypertension than men already at diagnosis of T2DM compared with women and men without T2DM, and worse BP control thereafter (191,230).",0
"However, the optimal BP target in patients with diabetes is still a matter of debate.",-1
"The UKPDS post-trial, 10-year follow-up study reported no benefits persisting from the earlier period of tight BP control with respect to macrovascular events, death, and microvascular complications, while initial between-group BP differences were no longer maintained (132).",3
"RCTs evaluating the benefits and risks of more intense compared with standard hypertension treatment strategies in patients with diabetes are summarized in Supplementary data online, Table S10.",-1
"Ideally, an exercise prescription aimed at lowering BP in individuals with normal BP or hypertension would include a mix of predominantly aerobic exercise training supplemented with dynamic resistance exercise training (208).",-1
"Overall, this resulted in a 7.9 year gain of life expectancy (363).",3
"The ADDITION (Anglo-Danish-Dutch Study of Intensive Treatment in People with Screen Detected Diabetes in Primary Care) trial showed that microvascular or macrovascular events were not significantly reduced after 5 or 10 years (17% and 13% reduction, respectively), while intervention only slightly improved HbA1c (364,365).",3
"An LDL-C target <1.8 mmol/L was only achieved in 18% and 28% of patients, respectively.",0
"Furthermore, adherence to lifestyle intervention fades over time, with continuously increasing body weight after 1 year (56).",-1
"To overcome adherence failures, the 2021 ESC Guidelines on cardiovascular disease prevention in clinical practice outlines a stepwise approach to treating risk factors and intensifying treatment to help physicians and patients pursue risk-factor targets, taking into account patient profiles and preferences, ensuring targets are a part of a shared decision-making process involving healthcare professionals and patients (48).",-1
"Particularly in the field of T2DM, studies have shown benefits of a stepwise approach to intensify treatment, and it appears that attaining treatment goals is similar, side effects are fewer, and patient satisfaction is significantly higher with such an approach (369,370).",3
Perceived susceptibility to illness and the anticipated severity of the consequences are also prominent components of patients� motivation (372).,-1
"Regarding the education method, individual education is more effective than face-to-face or web and mobile phone education (375).",3
Lifestyle changes are recommended as the basic measure for preventing and managing T2DM (48).,-1
Advice should be addressed by a multifactorial approach with patient-centred communication adapted to the health status and health literacy of the patient (Section 5.7).,-1
"In addition, baseline cardio-pulmonary fitness was associated with reduced risks of mortality and CV events during follow-up of 9.2 years (60).",2
"If weight is not managed effectively by lifestyle interventions and medication, bariatric surgery should be considered in patients with T2DM and a BMI =35 kg/m2 (=Class II; WHO classification) to achieve long-term weight loss, reduce blood glucose, and improve CV risk factors.",3
Recent data from the Coronary Diet Intervention With Olive Oil and Cardiovascular Prevention (CORDIOPREV) study confirmed the benefit of a Mediterranean diet by showing that male patients with established CAD benefitted more from a Mediterranean diet than from a low-fat diet intervention after 7 years of follow-up.,3
"People with CVD and T2DM are encouraged to reduce sodium intake, as this may reduce systolic BP by, on average, 5.8 mmHg in hypertensive patients and 1.9 mmHg in normotensive patients (94,95).",2
"In a meta-analysis, in hypertensive and normotensive people, reducing salt intake by 2.5 g/day resulted in a 20% relative reduction of ASCVD events (95).",3
Patients should perform =2 sessions per week of endurance exercise and/or resistance exercise training.,-1
"PA accumulated in bouts of even <10 min is associated with favourable outcomes, including reduced mortality (110,111).",1
"Exercise prescription is recommended to be adapted to T2DM-associated comorbidities, e.g. CAD, HF, AF, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, or retinopathy, as well as age and frailty (104,107,108).",-1
"Interventions shown to increase PA level or reduce sedentary behaviour include behaviour theory-based interventions, such as goal-setting, re-evaluation of goals, self-monitoring, and feedback (112,113).",3
"Moreover, assessment of aerobic and anaerobic thresholds by spiroergometry is particularly useful to provide an individualized endurance exercise prescription including exercise intensity (106�108).",-1
"A consensus regarding the efficacy and safety for this approach has yet to be reached (123,124).",2
"This is reflected in the Canadian [5], UK NICE [6] and Australian guidelines [7] as well as the ADA standards of medical care [2,8,9].",-1
Lifestyle modification can be difficult to achieve and maintain [6].,-1
"RCTs and outcomes studies of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) in the management of type 2 diabetes have reported improved glycaemic outcomes (HbA1c decreases of ~1.0�2.0%/11�22 mmol/mol; range: -0.5 to 2.6%/-6.5 to 29 mmol/mol, depending on the duration of diabetes) and level of glycaemic control [1].",3
Pharmacological therapy should be considered if goals are not achieved between 3 and 6 months after initiating MNT.,-1
"A systematic review and meta-analysis of exercise (aerobic, resistance training or both) reported an HbA1c reduction of 0.7%/8 mmol/mol, independent of changes in body weight, in people with type 2 diabetes [22].",3
A recent IDF position paper recommended bariatric surgery should be considered earlier in the treatment of eligible patients to help stem the serious complications that can result from diabetes [26].,2
"Eligible patients include those who have type 2 diabetes and a BMI =35 kg/m2; or with a BMI between 30 and 35 kg/m2 when diabetes cannot be adequately controlled by optimal medical regimen, especially in the presence of other major CVD risk factors.",-1
"From a health-provider perspective many of the costs fall outside their budget, healthier foods and exercise programmes and equipment generally being a cost met directly by the person with diabetes.",-1
"For these reasons, and because, for glucose control, the gain from lifestyle modification is greater than that from any individual therapy, lifestyle measures are heavily promoted.",3
Type 2 diabetes has a long asymptomatic preclinical phase which frequently goes undetected and complications are commonly present at the time of diagnosis.,-1
"Although there is debate about screening and early detection of diabetes in the general population, it is usually favoured in older people because of its high prevalence and the potential negative impact on health.",-1
"For example, in Australia in the age group 25-34, 0.2% have diagnosed and 0.1% have undiagnosed diabetes, increasing respectively to 9.4% and 8.5% in 65-74 year olds and 10.9% and 12.1% for people aged 75 years and older [24].",0
"In the US in the age groups 70-74, 75-79, 80-84, and = 85 years the prevalence of diabetes was 20%, 21.1%, 20.2%, and 17.3%, respectively [25].",0
The DECODE Study analysed data from nine European countries and reported a prevalence of type 2 diabetes of < 10% in people age < 60 years and 10-20% in those aged 60-79 years [26].,0
"Undiagnosed diabetes is particularly common in older people with acute myocardial infarction (34% in the Glucose Tolerance in Acute Myocardial Infarction study in people over 80 years of age) [28], and with cerebrovascular disease (46% with newly diagnosed diabetes of people with a mean age of 71 years with acute ischaemic stroke) [29].",0
This has implications for diagnosis and results in differences in prevalence depending on which diagnostic test is used [36].,-1
The implications for the individual require balancing the risks and benefits of performing an OGTT and the likelihood of missing significant hyperglycaemia.,-1
"However, an OGTT may be clinically indicated in an older individual with equivocal results.",-1
This increased risk does not seem to vary with age.,0
The benefits of identifying IGT or IFG in older adults depend on the time taken to achieve benefit and the person�s life expectancy.,0
"Malnutrition is associated with longer length of stay in hospital and increased mortality [48], is a strong predictor of readmission and is associated with pressure ulcers, delirium, and depression [49].",2
"Meeting micronutrient needs where there is lower energy intake can be challenging and older people often have micronutrient deficiencies and are at risk of under nutrition due to anorexia, altered taste and smell, swallowing difficulties, oral and dental issues, and functional impairments, which compromise their capacity to shop for, prepare, and eat a healthy, balanced diet [5] , especially when they live alone and have financial difficulties.",0
"Over restrictive eating patterns, either self-imposed or provider-directed can contribute additional nutritional risks for older people.",2
Supplementary vitamins and minerals may be needed.,-1
However the body mass index (BMI) is not an accurate predictor of the degree of adiposity in older people due to age related changes in body composition [53].,0
Obesity exacerbates the age related decline in physical function and increases the risk of frailty [54].,3
"Although immune responses to antigens can be impaired with advancing age, all people in high-risk groups such as those with diabetes are recommended to receive a seasonal influenza vaccination as this has been associated with a reduction in complications, hospitalizations, and death [56].",2
"Exercise should be an integral component of the management of diabetes in older people and can be associated with benefits relating to mobility, balance, reduced falls risk, psycho-social benefits, and enhancing quality of life.",1
"Muscle mass and muscle strength decline with age and may be exacerbated by diabetes complications, other comorbidities, and periods of hospitalization.",0
"Older people with diabetes are at high risk of falls, recurrent falls, and fractures [278-280].",0
Measurement of gait velocity and ankle muscle strength have been used to identify people at risk of falling [286].,0
People with diabetes are at increased risk of all types of pain including �silent pain� from myocardial infarction and urinary tract infections.,0
"Changes in body language, grimacing, restlessness, increased wandering, crying out, groaning, hypertension, tachycardia, and rapid shallow breathing may be indications of pain.",-1
"Managing pain in older people is a key aspect of the national strategies for all healthcare settings [22,291].",-1
Pain is always subjective.,-1
"Recently, changes in brain grey matter density and cortical thickness have been linked to chronic pain [300] but the clinical significance of the finding is unclear.",1
"Physical consequences of pain include: Respiratory changes e.g. unable to take a deep breath or cough which increase the risk of chest infection and delays recovery; Increased cardiovascular sympathetic activity which can lead to hypertension, tachycardia, and myocardial ischaemia especially if the person has pre-existing CVD and can increase the risk of venous stasis and pressure ulcers; Gastrointestinal pain can affect gastric emptying and intestinal motility, lead to erratic blood glucose levels, nausea, vomiting, and constipation; Depression, sleep deprivation, and worry [303,304].",3
"It is important to appropriately classify pain (e.g. acute, chronic, postoperative) to adequately manage it and reduce the associated risks such as falls and behavioural changes.",-1
"Participants randomized to intensive SBP control had greater risk of hypotension and possibly syncope, but not falls.",3
"BP lowering was associated with improved mortality and other clinical outcomes (cardiovascular events, coronary heart disease, stroke) with lower RRs observed among those with baseline BP of 140 mm Hg and greater. ",2
"In older patients with hypertension, intensive treatment with a systolic blood-pressure target of 110 to less than 130 mm Hg resulted in a lower incidence of cardiovascular events than standard treatment with a target of 130 to less than 150 mm Hg.",3
"targeting a systolic blood pressure of less than 120 mm Hg, as compared with less than 140 mm Hg, did not reduce the rate of a composite outcome of fatal and nonfatal major cardiovascular events.",3
"The results for safety and renal outcomes did not differ significantly between the two groups, except for the incidence of hypotension, which was higher in the intensive-treatment group.",3
"In high-risk patients, there are additional benefits from more intensive blood pressure lowering.",3
"More intensive BP control (?130 mm Hg) was associated with a greater reduction in stroke, but did not reduce other events.",2
"We found no significant between-group differences in the risk of pregnancy loss, high-level neonatal care, or overall maternal complications, although less-tight control was associated with a significantly higher frequency of severe maternal hypertension.",2
"The reduction of sodium intake to levels below the current recommendation of 100 mmol per day and the DASH diet both lower blood pressure substantially, with greater effects in combination than singly.",3
"A structured, moderate-intensity physical activity program compared with a health education program reduced major mobility disability over 2.6 years among older adults at risk for disability.",3
An intensive lifestyle intervention focusing on weight loss did not reduce the rate of cardiovascular events in overweight or obese adults with type 2 diabetes. ,3
The results of this post-hoc analysis of Look AHEAD suggest an association between the magnitude of weight loss and incidence of cardiovascular disease in people with type 2 diabetes. ,1
"With the exception of persons who had a history of cardiovascular disease, ILI slowed the decline in PF with type 2 diabetes mellitus despite weight regain, an effect that was stronger for older than younger participants and could translate into reductions in falls and disability.",3
"Independent of the other risk factors and comorbidities, exposure to higher HbA1c levels, more episodes of severe hypoglycaemia, and elevated systolic blood pressure were associated with greater decrements in psychomotor and mental efficiency that was most notable by year 32 (p<0�0001).",2
