The American Diabetes Association Standards of Care in Diabetes are a “living” guideline – the recommendations are updated throughout the year and major revisions occur in January. In this episode, guest host, Jake Galdo, is joined by Susan Cornell as they evaluate new pharmacotherapy recommendations in the ADA Standards of Care.
