Abstract:
The patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus are increasing, which has become one of the most daunting causes of sickness and death in China. "China Guideline for Type 2 Diabetes"(2007 Edition) is prepared by the Chinese Diabetes Society on the basis of new evidence related to prevention of both diabetes and its complications, the update guidelines of many international organizations, as well as the clinical practice in China. The diagnostic criteria for dysglycemia in China are pointed out. The importance of not only diabetes prevention and management but also multifactorial intervention of cardiovascular risk factors is emphasized. More strict targets of glycemic control are recommended, however, the strategy of glycemic control should be based on pathophysiological features of Chinese diabetic population. The new guideline delivers the idea of "prevention-based control and standardized management". The guideline training program will foster the qualified health care providers and improve the process of diabetes care.
