Dr. Chang, Yi-Cheng
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, Apr 03, 2019

It is estimated that there were 1.73-2.20 million people with diabetes in Taiwan in 2014-2015. The executive summary briefly introduced recommendations from the Diabetes Association of Republic of China (DAROC) clinical practice guidelines for diabetes care- 2018. We described the diagnostic criteria for diabetes, pre-diabetes and gestational diabetes, and the screening methods for diabetes in asymptomatic subjects. Treatment goals for adults with diabetes, older adults with diabetes, children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, women with gestational diabetes and inpatients were recommended. For people with type 2 diabetes, we suggested an algorithm including lifestyle modification, weight control, as well as the consideration and selection of anti-diabetic medications. Besides, we also recommended laboratory tests for metabolic monitoring, examinations for the screening of diabetic complications and the suggested testing intervals for these tests and examinations.
