Evidence-based tests to monitor adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus in primary care: rapid reviews and consensus process
The study found that the evidence base for most T2DM monitoring tests is weak or absent. Clinicians should avoid non-evidence-based tests unless there are additional clinical indications for testing. Standardised evidence-based testing panels for T2DM and other long-term conditions could reduce unnecessary testing.
