Bridging the gap between type 2 diabetes guidelines and prescribing practices

The Improving Diabetes Steering Committee (IDSC) – a multidisciplinary group of experts across primary and secondary care – aims to support healthcare professionals by producing materials that provide balanced reviews of the evidence and guidelines relating to use of SGLT2 inhibitors in the management of type 2 diabetes, including their risk/benefit profile in reducing the risk of cardiovascular, renal and metabolic (CVRM) complications.

The tools and resources developed by the IDSC and collated in this hub aim to build greater confidence regarding the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes management, helping to bridge the gap between current guidelines and prescribing practices.
