This is a comprehensive, current review sourced directly from the ADA Standards of Care in Diabetes — 2026. Here are the key takeaways organised by domain:
Quick Navigation
| Section | Topic |
|---|---|
| 1 | Evidence Grading (A/B/C/E system) |
| 2 | Diagnostic Criteria (glucose, HbA1c, OGTT thresholds) |
| 3 | Classification: T1DM, T2DM, GDM, Other — including T1DM staging table and cancer drug–induced hyperglycaemia |
| 4 | Glycaemic Targets (HbA1c, TIR, preprandial/postprandial) |
| 5 | Pharmacotherapy (GLP-1 RA expansions, SGLT-2i, DPP-4) |
| 6 | Perioperative Goals — two new 2026 recommendations: HbA1c <8% pre-surgery; glucose 100–180 mg/dL intraoperatively |
| 7 | Anaesthetic Implications — airway (cheiroarthropathy), gastroparesis, GLP-1 RA risks, drug management, intraoperative monitoring, regional vs. general anaesthesia |
| 8 | Transplant perioperative diabetes |
| 9 | DKA and HHS — perioperative recognition and management |
| 10 | Summary table of 2026 anaesthesia-relevant changes |
The two most clinically significant 2026 additions for anaesthetists are:
- Pre-elective surgery HbA1c target of <8% (Rec 16.14) — a formal, citable threshold for pre-assessment
- Perioperative glucose target of 100–180 mg/dL (Rec 16.15) — standardising what had previously been institution-dependent practice
