Do You Hate Being Called "Diabetic"?
Every 5 years the leading experts in the treatment of Type 2 get together at this big conference and make changes, based on new information, to the "consensus guidelines" that are used by the EU, UK and most of the Commonwealth and the United States, that become the national medical guidelines
So whether I post up something from the ADA's US Guidelines or from Diabetes Australia (or Canada or the UK), the only difference in the paragraph will be some spelling changes
