The Diabetes Prevention and Control Program coordinates the development of clinical guidelines and related tools to improve the quality of care given to people with diabetes.
Massachusetts Guidelines for Adult Diabetes Care
The Massachusetts Guidelines for Adult Diabetes Care 2009 and the 2011 Executive Summary of Revisions and Recommendations were developed as a way to improve diabetes care in the Commonwealth. The Adult Guidelines are a cooperative effort among many partners. This unique collaboration eliminates the confusion brought about by slight differences in guidelines developed by each managed care organization. The Guidelines are revised every two years and distributed to physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, diabetes educators, and Visiting Nurses Associations throughout Massachusetts.
