Primary care professionals have broadly welcomed the 2026 update to the NICE type 2 diabetes guidelines because it focuses on reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications, such as cardiovascular disease, as well as optimising glycaemic control. With this in mind, MIMS Learning medical editors Dawn and Sangeeta take a deep dive into the extensive diabetes content available on MIMS Learning.
They look at how both latent autoimmune diabetes (LADA) and type 3c diabetes can be misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes, risk factors for diabetes (such as obesity), and multiple diabetes-related complications (including cardio-renal-metabolic disease).
