The management of type 1 diabetes in adults. The updated 2026 consensus report by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD)
Abstract
This 2026 consensus report from the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) builds on the 2021 consensus report to provide guidance for managing type 1 diabetes in adults. Reflecting the rapid advances in the field, this update places particular emphasis on the integration of new technologies, while all sections have been revised to incorporate new evidence, advances in clinical practice and novel therapies, including interventions to delay the onset of stage 3 type 1 diabetes. It also broadens its scope to screening for long-term diabetes complications, and the management of obesity and cardiovascular risk factors. Psychosocial care and diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) remain key elements. The report was developed using the Accurate Consensus Reporting Document (ACCORD) framework. The guidance aligns with the current ADA 'Standards of Care in Diabetes' (Standards of Care) and relevant EASD and ADA documents and aims to support clinicians globally in delivering high-quality, personalised care for adults with type 1 diabetes, with recommendations that can be adapted across diverse healthcare systems and resource settings.
