Standard 3


People with diabetes should be offered, as a minimum, an annual assessment for the risk and presence of diabetes-related complications and for cardiovascular risk. They should participate in making their own care plans, and set agreed and documented goals/targets with their health care team.
Key practice points

People with diabetes are at increased risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications and, therefore, should be offered assessment for risk and presence of complications.

The risk of complications varies greatly across the diabetic population.

Young people with type 2 diabetes have a high risk of morbidity and mortality.

The aim is prevention of complications, especially targeting those at high risk.

Patients with existing complications (eg, foot, eye, kidney or cardiovascular disease) are in a high-risk category and should be managed intensively.



Read this standard in conjunction with the equality and diversity section in the Introduction to the Toolkit.
