Core Tip
Core Tip: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease mostly self-managed by patients as glucose control is largely related to lifestyle adjustments with appropriate dietary habits and physical activities. A proper understanding of the pathobiology of DM, associated comorbidities, the clinical situation, and the socio-cultural background of each patient is of paramount importance in planning the optimal management strategies for diabetes care. With the aid of 5 interesting real-world case scenarios, we elaborate on the importance of individualised diabetes care in this evidence-based review to empower physicians in optimising the care of their diabetes patients in day-to-day clinical practice.
