Abstract

The increasing prevalence and complications of endocrine and metabolic disorders such as diabetes (1) places a tremendous burden on affected individuals and will continue to strain the resources of health care systems and effective national health policy planning unless there are significant changes in health care delivery strategies. As such, diabetes serves as the quintessential model for demonstrating the value of evidence-based clinical practice. Large, well-designed clinical trials have provided convincing evidence that the risks of diabetes can be altered by appropriate treatment (2–9), and based on these trials the goals of treatment have been expanded from glycemic control to include lipid and blood pressure outcomes. At the same time that professional societies are calling for lower and lower targets (10–12), the complexity of medical decision making has increased for both the patient and health care team. Informed treatment decision making will require that the physician, health care team, and patients are fully informed (13).
