The purpose of the guidelines is to improve the management of: patients with overt diabetes; patients at risk of developing diabetes demonstrated by impaired glucose tolerance; and cardiovascular diseases in these patient populations.
These guidelines have been prepared by a team of experts drawn from both organisations and they provide both cardiologists and diabetologists with an invaluable resource of information and recommendations.
