To treat type 2 diabetes (T2D), American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines are moving from a rigid, algorithmic approach to a multidimensional, patient centered approach that recognizes different needs and goals among individual patients. This new approach is due in part to the different comorbidities that individual patients may present.
The most common comorbidities found in patients with diabetes are obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.
