Position Statements

A position statement is an official point of view or belief of the ADA. Position statements are issued on scientific or medical issues related to diabetes. They are published in ADA journals and other scientific/medical publications as appropriate. Position statements must be reviewed and approved by the Professional Practice Committee and, subsequently, by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. ADA position statements are typically based on a technical review or other published review and are peer reviewed on an annual basis.

ADA Statements

An ADA statement is a focused review on a clinical topic with recommendations. It is authored, and the recommendations are those of the authors based on the evidence presented. ADA Statements are reviewed externally and also by the Professional Practice Committee for overall content. As noted above, the recommendations made are considered by the Professional Practice Committee as part of the review and updating of the “Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.”
