The CDS is intended for primary care clinicians caring for employed adults with DM.Methods:The SME's selected guidelines for the management of DM in working adults, reviewed pertinent literature, and developed specific recommendations for action in the clinical setting.Results:Multiple factors at work may adversely affect DM management. Clinicians can support working patients through education and care strategies to improve control.Conclusion:Improved recognition of factors at work that can have an impact on DM care provides opportunities for improved management of DM among working adults.
