Introduction

The current joint position statement of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) makes a strong call for a patient-centered approach to the management of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes.[1] The position statement discusses the background, rationale, and definition of this approach. It highlights glycemic targets, available therapeutic options, implementation strategies, while noting other considerations in planning management of hyperglycemia. Various factors which determine the choice of glycemic targets, therapeutic interventions, and management strategies, are analysed in detail. The concordance of this statement with the bio-psycho-social model of health and disease are discussed here.
