Standard 8
People with diabetes who do not achieve their agreed targets should have access to appropriate expert help.
Key practice points
People with diabetes are at significantly greater risk for cardiovascular disease than the rest of the population.
This risk is even greater in Māori, Pacific, Asian and South Asian people.
Individualised glycaemic and cardiovascular risk targets should be agreed and documented using shared decision-making.
People with diabetes who do not meet their agreed targets should be reviewed and treatment/support should be modified as required.
If necessary, people not meeting their targets should have access to specialist services.
Read this standard in conjunction with the equality and diversity section in the Introduction to the Toolkit.
