Abstract

The American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes consensus statement 2022 effectively captures the changing paradigm of modern diabetes care. As emphasized in the guidelines, a person-centered decision cycle focusing on preventing complications and improving quality of life is the driving principle behind modern diabetes management. Other notable features of the document are its emphasis on self-management education, therapeutic behaviour, sleep hygiene, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and weight loss. Focus on individualization of care, social determinants of health, and ethnic variations are pertinent from an Afro-Asian perspective. The "language matters" section is a welcome addition that will help to overcome several barriers in diabetes care.
