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. Section 1 was updated as of July 31, 2008. These recent changes contain updated algorithms, new protocols for the management of diabetes complications, and a completely revised resource page. All recommendations are supported by the 2008 ADA Clinical Practice Recommendations.

The UDPRs have been endorsed by a number of Utah associations and groups, to the extent they apply to their clinical areas, and found them to be consistent with applicable standards of care for men and women with diabetes. In extending their endorsement, it is recognized that the UDPRs, 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.
