Diabetes accounted for nearly 20% of home care visits in 2002. Home care clinicians who use clinical guidelines provide more effective and efficient care for patients with diabetes. This article reviews selected guidelines and provides examples of how clinicians can use guidelines in providing evidence-based care.
