Editor’s Desk: More on ADA-EASD Guidelines

Over the past four weeks we have shared some fantastic Homerun Slides on the new ADA-EASD guidelines for diabetes care. This week, Dr. Richard S. Beaser from the Joslin Diabetes Center provides more details on the guidelines and their history — be sure to read his comments in this week’s Clinical Text.

Our Disaster Averted takes a look at what can happen when patients get “free” medications, and this week’s Homerun Slides are a great tool to use when you need to talk about “natural” products for diabetes.
