Policies, Guidelines and Consensus Statements: Pharmacologic Management of Type 2 Diabetes-2015 Interim Update.

Abstract

The process of the development of the Canadian Diabetes Association 2013 Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Diabetes in Canada included provisions to update individual chapters prior to the planned published revision in 2018 ( 1 Booth G. Cheng A.Y.Y. Canadian Diabetes Association 2013 Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Diabetes in Canada: Methods. Can J Diabetes. 2013; 37: S4-S7 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (234) Google Scholar ). An updated literature search that focused on new evidence published since the development of the 2013 guidelines yielded 1787 citations. After review of these citations, the chapter authors advised the steering and executive committees that there were no significant changes in evidence to warrant the formulation of any new recommendations or the revision of any current recommendations. As such, it was recommended that a full update of the chapter be deferred until the planned revision of the entire Clinical Practice Guidelines in 2018.
