2 Pages: 2 f 11 V. GUIDELINE: The fllwing guidelines are cnsistent with the 2018 Standards f Medical Care in Diabetes frm the American Diabetes Assciatin (ADA). Sme specificatins fr HEDIS measures f diabetes care are incrprated. Denver Health recmmends a check-up fr diabetes management every 6 mnths if at gal n measures, and every 3 mnths if nt at gal. A. Initial/Cmprehensive Medical Evaluatin: Cnfirm and classify diabetes diagnsis; evaluate fr cmplicatins and ptential cmrbid cnditins; review previus treatment and risk factr cntrl; engage patient in frmulatin f care management plan; develp plan fr cntinuing care B. Additinal tasks as apprpriate fr Fllw-up Visits r Annual Evaluatin: 1. Interval medical histry 2. Assess medicatin cmpliance and behavir. Review any intlerance f side effects. 3. Physical examinatin (height, weight, BMI, bld pressure, thyrid palpatin 4. Cmprehensive ft exam: Inspectin; palpatin f pulses; determinatin f mnfilament sensatin and 1 additinal sensatin (prpriceptin, vibratin, pinprick, r ankle reflex.) 5. Labratry evaluatin: A1C, if results nt available within the past 6 mnths r last 3 mnths if previus value nt at gal. As necessary, lipid prfile, liver functins, sprt urinary albumin-t-creatinine rati, serum creatinine and egfr, and thyrid-stimulating hrmne fr thse with Type-1 diabetes every 3-5 years per ACC-AHA guidelines. 6. Assess risk fr cmplicatins, including cardivascular and micr/macrvascular cmplicatins (see additinal tab belw fr further discussin) 7. Diabetes self-management behavirs: nutritin, psychscial health, need fr referrals, immunizatins; r ther rutine health maintenance screening 8. Cmrbidities: cmmn cmrbidities with diabetes may cmplicate management. The physician and multidisciplinary team will assess and mnitr fr cmrbidities and prvide screening/plan interventins as necessary Autimmune Diseases: Cnsider screening type 1 diabetes patients fr autimmune thyrid disease and celiac disease Cancer: Diabetic patients are at increased risk f cancers f the liver, pancreas, endmetrium, cln/rectum, breast, and bladder. This may result frm shared risk factrs between diabetes and age, r with diabetes related factrs. Patients are encuraged t underg recmmended This guideline is designed t assist prviders by prviding an analytical framewrk fr the evaluatin and treatment f patients, and is nt intended either t replace a clinicians judgment r t establish a prtcl fr all patients with a particular cnditin.
