The American Diabetes Association’s (ADA’s) Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes are published each year in a supplement to the January issue of Diabetes Care. The ADA’s Professional Practice Committee develops the Standards and updates them annually, or more frequently online should it determine that new evidence or regulatory changes (e.g., drug approvals, label changes) merit immediate incorporation. The Standards include the most current evidence-based recommendations for diagnosing and treating adults and children with diabetes. ADA’s grading system uses A, B, C, or E to show the evidence level that supports each recommendation. • A—Clear evidence from wellconducted, generalizable randomized controlled trials that are adequately powered • B—Supportive evidence from well-conducted cohort studies • C—Supportive evidence from poorly controlled or uncontrolled studies • E—Expert consensus or clinical experience
