Included are sections on initiating and intensifying insulin and on precautions to help avoid hypoglycemia.These slides are based on-and incorporate-slides from the AACE/ACE Comprehensive Type 2 Diabetes Management Algorithm 2017 which is available on the AACE website. The algorithm spends equal time on management of T2DM comorbidities/ASCVD risk factors. The presentation summarizes the AACE/ACE 2017 Consensus Statement on comprehensive T2DM management.PLEASE NOTE: TO ENLARGE TABLES ON SLIDES 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, AND 27, PLEASE CLICK ON THE LINK PROVIDED IN THE CAPTION; see example below.[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_crop","fid":"59882","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"289","id":"media_crop_9937304821384","media_crop_h":"0","media_crop_image_style":"-1","media_crop_instance":"7543","media_crop_rotate":"0","media_crop_scale_h":"0","media_crop_scale_w":"0","media_crop_w":"0","media_crop_x":"0","media_crop_y":"0","title":" ","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"379"}}]]
