Synopsis

During 2009, five Diabetes Type 2 Guidelines were approved by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NHMRC under Section 14A of the NHMRC Act, namely:

• National Evidence Based Guideline for Diagnosis, Prevention and Management of Chronic Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetes;
• National Evidence Based Guideline for Case Detection and Diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes;
• National Evidence Based Guideline for Patient Education in Type 2 Diabetes, and
• National Evidence Based Guideline for Blood Glucose Control in Type 2 Diabetes, and
• National Evidence Based Guideline for the Primary Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes.

These Guidelines comprise a suite of Type 2 Diabetes Guidelines recently developed under a funding agreement between the Department of Health and Ageing and the Diabetes Australia Guideline Development Consortium. The most recently finalised Guideline the National Evidence Based Guideline for the Primary Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes, was approved by the NHMRC CEO on 10 December 2009.

The five Guidelines in the series, when combined, present a comprehensive set of evidence-based guidelines for the prevention, diagnosis and management of Type 2 Diabetes.
