TL;DR: The National Standards for Diabetes Selfmanagement Education (DSME) as mentioned in this paper were developed by the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA).

TL;DR: The evidence about the impact of hypoglycemia on patients with diabetes that has become available since the past reviews by the American Diabetes Association and The Endocrine Society is reviewed to provide guidance about how this new information should be incorporated into clinical practice.

TL;DR: The evidence about the impact of hypoglycemia on patients with diabetes that has become available since the past reviews by the American Diabetes Association and The Endocrine Society is reviewed to provide guidance about how this new information should be incorporated into clinical practice.

TL;DR: New evidence suggests that the association between hypoglycaemia and cardiovascular events and mortality is likely to be multifactorial, and this risk should be recognised by clinicians when agreeing glycaemic goals with patients and choosing appropriate glucose-lowering therapies.

TL;DR: For diabetes health-care providers treating most people with diabetes who are at risk for or are suffering from iatrogenic hypoglycemia, these principles include selecting appropriate individualized glycemic goals and providing structured patient education to reduce the incidence of hyp glucosecemia.
