Ever wonder how changing healthcare challenges shape diabetes care guidelines? The American Diabetes Association’s 2025 Standards of Care has been released, bringing essential updates to how healthcare providers approach the management of diabetes. 

This year’s guidelines reflect an adaptive approach to real-world issues, such as managing diabetes during medication shortages and emphasizing individualized care plans. The ADA highlights the importance of addressing access barriers, ensuring that treatment options remain effective even when the most used medications are unavailable. These updates are a lifeline for senior living communities’ efforts to provide consistent, high-quality care for residents living with diabetes. 

Another notable change in the American Diabetes Association’s 2025 Standards of Care is the reinforced focus on using technology, such as continuous glucose monitoring, to improve outcomes and quality of life. These advancements provide healthcare teams with better tools to meet the unique needs of older adults, including those with multiple chronic conditions. 

The ADA’s commitment to evidence-based care ensures that these guidelines remain a cornerstone for achieving better health outcomes. For a comprehensive look at the updated Standards of Care, you can read the full press release on the American Diabetes Association’s newsroom page. 

By staying informed about these updates, senior living communities can continue to deliver thoughtful, personalized care. Let’s keep moving forward, together.
