The Utah Diabetes Practice Recommendations (UDPR) for adults were revised in 2004 and updated in 2009. In addition, the Diabetes in Pregnancy and Hyperglycemia Management for Inpatient sections were added in 2005 and updated in 2006. In 2007, a section was added on Management of Children and Adolescents with Diabetes. All recommendations are supported by the ADA Clinical Practice Recommendations.

The UDPR, while outlining a general course of action for the majority of patients, do not substitute for informed clinical judgment on the exact course of treatment for individual patients.
