Abstract

By the most recent estimates, 34.2 million people in the U.S. have diabetes (1).At the same time, 88 million people are at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes.The U.S. also sees an increasing prevalence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents (2).Thus, more than 122 million Americans are at risk for developing devastating complications associated with chronic hyperglycemia (1).Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) is a critical element of care for all people with diabetes (PWD)."The purpose of DSMES is to give PWD the knowledge, skills, and confidence to accept responsibility for their self-management.This includes collaborating with their healthcare team, making informed decisions, solving problems, developing personal goals and action plans, and coping with emotions and life stresses" (3).DSMES interventions include activities that support PWD to implement and sustain the self-management behaviors and strategies to improve diabetes and related cardiometabolic conditions and quality of life on an ongoing basis.Despite progress in diabetes treatment modalities, glycemic and cardiometabolic outcomes continue to decline in the U.S. (4).Now, more than ever, the provision of DSMES is a vital component of the full treatment for diabetes.PWD are at risk for distress, life stress, and clinical depression, which can lead to poor health outcomes (5).The National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (hereinafter referred to as the National Standards) encourage the DSMES team to acknowledge and address the emotional burden of living with and managing diabetes-diabetes distress-and to consider the multitude of daily demands and decisions required of PWD, their families, and caregivers (6-9).To further illustrate, PWD generally visit their primary care physician (PCP)/other qualified healthcare professional two to four times per year, where the average appointment lasts 15-20 min and addresses four or more health conditions (10).This equates to the person with diabetes (PWD) spending less than 1% of their life with their healthcare professionals (10).Therefore, diabetes management decisions largely fall on PWD and/or caregivers, further highlighting the importance of increasing access to DSMES services that support ongoing self-management and decision making.The National Standards define timely, evidence-based, quality DSMES services that meet or exceed the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services quality standards.While the acronym DSMES is used in the literature and in current practice, it is important to note that the term diabetes self-management training (DSMT) is exclusively used when describing the Medicare benefit for diabetes self-management.The Medicare benefit for DSMT was established by the Balanced Budget Act (BBA) of 1997 with a final rule (65 FR 83130) published on 29 December 2000, implementing the BBA provisions and DSMT regulations (Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulation sections 410.140 to 410.146).The DSMT benefit has reimbursement guidelines outside of the National Standards.

TL;DR

The 2022 National Standards update defines evidence-based, person-centered diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) across six standards, emphasizing reduced administrative burden, health equity, and flexible delivery. It reports low DSMES utilization and reaffirms benefits such as A1C reduction.

Key findings

  • DSMES lowers hemoglobin A1C by at least 0.6%, comparable to many diabetes medications but without side effects; greater A1C reductions are associated with more than 10 h of DSMES services.
  • Utilization is low: less than 5% of Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes and 6.8% of privately insured people with diagnosed diabetes have used DSMES services.
  • The revision updates six standards: support for DSMES services; population and service assessment; DSMES team; delivery and design; person-centered DSMES; and measuring/demonstrating outcomes. Referral is recommended at four critical times: diagnosis, annually and/or when not meeting treatment targets, when complicating factors develop, and when transitions in life or care occur.
  • Terminology changed from diabetes educator/CDE to Diabetes Care and Education Specialist/CDCES; technology can support equitable access to DSMES but is not a requirement for delivery.

Methods

  • Consensus revision by key stakeholders and experts approximately every 5 years; the 2021 group reviewed the current National Standards for appropriateness, relevance, and scientific basis and was tasked with reducing administrative burden.
  • Not an empirical study: no sample, data collection, or statistical analysis is reported; the document synthesizes current evidence and expert consensus, with a summary of changes in Supplementary Material 1.
  • The standards are described as applicable across care models, including solo practice, community, large practice, and technology-enabled models.

Limitations

  • The paper does not state a formal limitations section.
  • Evident: it is a consensus/guideline document rather than a systematic review or primary study; recommendations rely on cited evidence and expert consensus, and the paper states that some language is carried over from the 2017 National Standards.
  • Evident: the paper notes that structured DSMES programs do not benefit everyone and that delivery must be person-centered; no empirical testing of the 2022 standards themselves is reported.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-09.
