Abstract
Since 1990, the Korean Diabetes Association has published Clinical Practice Recommendations, which include the “Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.” The position statement of the Korean Diabetes Association on diabetes care and management has been recognized as one of the primary references for medical care in diabetes. This English version published in 2017 will be a good reference for daily clinical practice of diabetes care. In this paper, I provide an executive summary of insulin therapy for adult patients with type 2 diabetes in Korea.
