Joslin Diabetes Center Affiliate Services in Bahrain
Joslin Diabetes Center Affiliate Bahrain will offer processes and tools to clinicians and diabetes patients that decrease variability in practice; reduce short- and long-term complications; and improve quality of life.
Evidence-based clinical guidelines provide a basis for diabetes treatment and intervention strategies. Joslin's Clinical Guideline for Adults with Diabetes outlines the screening frequency, goals, and treatment recommendations for lab evaluations and physical examinations for diabetes and associated conditions. Recommendations for evaluation and management of A1C, micro/macroproteinuria, lipids and cholesterol, peripheral vascular, blood pressure, cardiovascular health, smoking cessation, retinopathy and eye health, immunizations, women's health, men's health, and visit frequency are all incorporated into the Guideline.
