Your Rights and Care Standards: A Guide for People with Type 2 Diabetes

The American Diabetes Association® (ADA) updates its Standards of Care in Diabetes annually so that people with diabetes get the most effective evidence-based treatment from their doctors. 

This guide, Your Rights and Care Standards: A Guide for People with Type 2 Diabetes, is based on these standards and was created to help you feel confident and informed about your treatment plan, including key questions to ask your health care team so you can take charge of your health.

This guide focuses on three key pillars of type 2 diabetes management:

  • Medical support and care (for both body and mind)
  • Healthy eating
  • Physical activity
