AMHS advocacy – ‘AMHS invite RACGP to collaborate to improve Type Diabetes Management’

AMHS letter to the RACGP

In a letter to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) AMHS have highlighted the need to strengthen the RACGP Handbook on the Management of Type 2 Diabetes

Specific concerns raised in the letter, included:

” The section on T2D remission does not include TCR [Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction] alongside the other recognised modalities, which may inadvertently mislead GPs about the available options for their patients”.

We proposed:

“That AMHS be invited into a formal consultation role in the next review cycle of this Handbook and future diabetes publications”
“That a targeted review of the TCR-related sections of the current Handbook be undertaken.”
