Needs Statement
We all know that Diabetes is a national epidemic with an increasing prevalence in the United States. The majority of individuals with diabetes in the U.S. receive care for the condition from primary care physicians (PCPs). Glycemic control for patients with type 2 diabetes is suboptimal. Significant gaps exist in diabetes-related knowledge and decision making among practicing physicians. It is imperative that physicians be familiar with the currently recommended guidelines and standards of care regarding the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of T2DM in order to appropriately manage patients with the disease and reduce the public health impact of diabetes and its complications on society. Keeping up with new guidelines and recommendations, much less the pharmacological options that now include 15+ classes of antihyperglycemic agents, is challenging to busy primary care physicians.

In addition, guidelines continue to place the patient's condition, desires, abilities, and tolerances at the center of the decision-making process. As patients become more engaged in their care, they also need to know that their providers are following the latest evidence based guidelines and practices for improving care. Providers should articulate current science and provide patients with these resources in a culturally competent manner. The widespread availability of information (and misinformation) to patients via the internet speaks to the need for clinicians to have these important conversations.
