dc.description.abstractAbstract Type 2 diabetes is one of the fastest-growing health emergencies of the twenty-first century, in part due to its association with cardiovascular and renal disease. Successful implementation of evidence-based guidelines for the management of patients with diabetes and pre-diabetes has been shown to improve patient outcomes by controlling risk factors for cardiovascular and renal disease. Recommendations include the early introduction of lifestyle adjustments, supported by pharmacological tools. Despite the availability of regularly updated, evidence-based guidelines, guideline implementation in clinical practice is low. As a result, people living with type 2 diabetes are not consistently receiving ideal clinical care. Improving guideline adherence has the potential to improve quality of life and longevity in patients with type 2 diabetes. This article introduces Guardians For Health, a global initiative that aims to improve guideline adherence by simplifying patient management and encouraging patient participation in the implementation of guidelines for type 2 diabetes. Guardians For Health is supported by a global community of implementers, with tools to support decision-making and quality assurance. Through achieving better guideline adherence, Guardians For Health hopes to achieve its vision to “stop early mortality by reducing cardiovascular and kidney complications in people with type 2 diabetes”.en_US
