Statements and Guidelines

The aims of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) are to encourage and support research in the field of diabetes, the rapid diffusion of acquired knowledge and to facilitate its application.

Therefore, the Association is actively involved in producing and endorsing statements and guidelines translating the latest results from diabetes research into best practices in diabetes management.

The EASD has established two committees to oversee these activities:

Committee on Clinical Affairs

The Committee on Clinical Affairs (CCA) is responsible for structuring and overseeing EASD’s activities in the development of formal statements, consensus documents, and other clinical resources that complement the clinical practice guidelines.

The CCA evaluates all initial requests from members of the Association or other institutions or societies concerning the development of statements and advises the EASD Executive Board accordingly.

Guidelines Oversight Committee

The Guidelines Oversight Committee (GOC) is responsible for overseeing the development, implementation, and updating of clinical practice guidelines that adhere to the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) principles and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology.

The GOC actively seeks the views of members of the Association for topics and evaluates all initial requests from members or other institutions or societies concerning the development of guidelines and advises the EASD Executive Board accordingly.
