Minimum
Standards for Diabetes Care in Texas
In 1995, the Texas Diabetes Council Managed Care Work Group first developed
Minimum Standards for Diabetes Care Under Managed Care in Texas. The title
was changed in 1999 to Minimum Standards for Diabetes Care in Texas to
reflect consensus that these standards should be met under all types of
health care plans and delivery systems. They are used to define minimum
benefits for health plans regulated by the Texas Department of Insurance.

| Diabetes Treatment Algorithms |
The Texas Diabetes Council presents the following treatment algorithms
to assist in the delivery of primary care practice. They have been developed
by a panel of experts through an open, peer-reviewed process to assure
that they are complete, accurate and consistent with the current state
of knowledge on diabetes treatment.
| Disclaimer: The algorithms and protocols
adopted by the Texas Diabetes Council are based on the best information
available at the time of adoption and designed to provide information
and assist decision-making. They should not be interpreted as prescribing
an exclusive course of management. Variations in practice will inevitably
and appropriately occur when clinicians consider the needs of the
individual patient, available resources and limitations unique to
an institution or type of practice. Every professional using these
guidelines is responsible for evaluating the appropriateness of applying
them in any particular clinical situation. |
