Diabetes: Professional Resources
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) invites you to team up with us to reduce the impact of diabetes in our state. Our goals include prevention and improved management of the condition. We offer a number of resources to help with your efforts.
Care guidelines
The Wisconsin Diabetes Advisory Group recommends providers follow the Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. These guidelines are set by the American Diabetes Association for high-quality, evidence-based clinical care. The association also offers a version Abridged for Primary Care Providers.
We’ve summarized these standards for you. See the 2017 Wisconsin Diabetes Clinical Care Recommendations At-A-Glance, P-49356. (PDF)
