Objective:
This consensus statement provides evidence-based visual guidance in graphic algorithms and a summary of evidence and considerations to assist health care professionals with the diagnosis and management of adults with prediabetes and diabetes mellitus in shared decision making to improve care.
Methods:
The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) selected a task force of medical experts to update the 2023 AACE Comprehensive Type 2 Diabetes Management Algorithm and align this algorithm update with related AACE clinical guidance.
Results:
This algorithm for management of adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) includes 11 sections: (1) Principles for the Management of Adults With T2D; (2) Prediabetes Algorithm (3) Diabetes Classification Algorithm (new); (4) Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Reduction Algorithm: Dyslipidemia; (5) Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Reduction Algorithm: Hypertension; (6) Comorbidities- and Complications-Centric Glycemic Control Algorithm; (7) Glucose-Centric Glycemic Control Algorithm; (8) Initiating and Titrating Insulin Algorithm; (9) Profiles of Pharmacotherapy for T2D; (10) Profiles of Pharmacotherapy for Obesity; and (11) Vaccine Recommendations for Adults With T2D.
Conclusions:
This 2026 update emphasizes lifestyle modification and treatment of overweight/obesity as key pillars in the management of prediabetes and T2D. It also provides guidance on the management of atherosclerotic risk factors of dyslipidemia and hypertension. A new algorithm was added to ensure that other causes and classes of diabetes are considered beyond T2D. There continues to be an emphasis on a complications- and comorbidities-centric approach, beyond glucose levels, to frame decisions regarding first-line and subsequent pharmacological choices for treating adults with T2D.
