Thank you for listening and welcome to a new episode, bringing you medical information and clinical guidance from a primary care perspective. My name is Fernando Florido and I am a GP in the United Kingdom.In today’s episode I am going to go through the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) consensus guidelines on the overall approach in glucose lowering medication in type 2 diabetes.I will firstly give you a list of the changes to the previous recommendations followed by a description of the consensus recommendations flow chart.If you have been following previous episodes, you may be familiar with the updated NICE guidelines on the management of type 2 diabetes.

There is a YouTube version of this episode and other NICE guidance on the NICE GP YouTube Channel and a link to access it can be found in the podcast description. Because of the visual nature of the flow chart, I would highly recommend watching the YouTube video if you can.Although describing visual aids as audio files can be challenging, I hope that you find the content clear and informative. Right, let’s go right in. So, we are going to start looking at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes and the American Diabetes Association consensus guidelines on managing hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes, published in December 2019, corrected in May 2020 and I have put links in to it in the episode description.Now, before starting the treatment flow chart, we are going to go through the changes to the consensus recommendations ...
