RSSDI Diabetes Therapeutic Wheel

RSSDI therapeutic wheel Application is designed to be a simple user friendly approach to decide the appropriate antidiabetic agent to be used in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

When you see a patient in your clinic

• Prescribe lifestyle intervention to all and metformin to most patients as mentioned in the inner core of the wheel (white and light blue rings)

• Then identify the 2/3 most important concerns/factors (from ABCDEFGH ) that you feel should influence your choice of antidiabetic agent eg. Age / CKD / Finance etc.

• Identify the best choices available to you from the outer rings of the wheel (Orange and red)

• Further fine tune your choices if more concerns exist in a given patient and reach a rational final choice in an ‘individualised approach’
