Type 2 diabetes

ICD-10 E11 · Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Hyperglycemia defines diabetes, and achieving glycemic goals is fundamental to diabetes management.

Monitoring plan

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) (2024) · NICE NG28

adults with type 2 diabetes · every 3 to 6 months until stable, then every 6 months

“Measure HbA1c levels in adults with type 2 diabetes every: 3 to 6 months (tailored to individual needs) until HbA1c is stable on unchanging therapy; 6 months once the HbA1c level and blood glucose lowering therapy are stable” — NG28

Monitoring plan

American Diabetes Association (2025) · 6. Glycemic Goals and Hypoglycemia: Standards of Care in Diabetes—2025

HbA1c <7%

every 3 months; twice a year once at goal and stable

“A1C <7.0% (<53 mmol/mol)” — Table 6.3

Glucose <180 mg/dL

peak postprandial capillary plasma glucose

“Peak postprandial capillary plasma glucose <180 mg/dL (<10.0 mmol/L)” — Table 6.3

Glucose 80–130 mg/dL

preprandial capillary plasma glucose

“Preprandial capillary plasma glucose 80–130 mg/dL (4.4–7.2 mmol/L)” — Table 6.3
