Abstract
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has presented the Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes-2024, introducing some impressive changes in description. The 2024 edition closely follows the ADA/EASD Consensus Statement. To evaluate various complications, BNP, NT-proBNP, ankle-brachial index (ABI), and the FIB-4 index are measured. The administration of SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and tirzepatide is recommended for T2D adults with cardiovascular disease, heart failure (including HFrEF/HFpEF), and chronic kidney disease (CKD). For lipid control, bempedoic acid and inclisiran have been introduced. FreeStyle Libre 2 is now available, automatically sending data to the smartphone in real-time every minute.
