TO THE EDITOR:
The recently published American College of Physicians (ACP) clinical guidelines for management of patients with diabetes (1) fail to consider algorithms developed by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists/American College of Endocrinology (AACE/ACE) (2) (for which we served as co-chairs of the task force that developed this algorithm), American Diabetes Association (ADA) (3), Canadian Diabetes Association (4), and Yale Diabetes Center (5). Although these algorithms were developed by specialists, they were specifically intended for use by internists and primary care physicians who treat most patients with type 2 diabetes. The AACE/ACE and ADA algorithms recommend target levels of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) to be used for most patients (6.5% and 7.0%, respectively).
