Summary:Optimal glycemic control is fundamental to diabetes management. New diabetes guidelines suggest that recommended glycated hemoglobin (A1C) targets for Type 2 diabetes can be, for most patients, achieved through a stringent, multi-pronged, multi-disciplined approach comprising early and focused intervention, regular monitoring, timely changes to medication, early use of combination therapy, early use of insulin, and patient empowerment through education. Using examples from real-life patient care, the implementation of these guidelines is reviewed from the perspective of the advanced practice nurse.
