Evidence-based medicine seeks to integrate the best evidence with clinical expertise and the values of persons living with diabetes. It is challenging to balance the goals of providing guidelines based on high-quality evidence with addressing the needs of practitioners who commonly face clinical scenarios for which there is no robust evidence.
