The 2026 edition added a new pathophysiology introduction drawing on 40-year DCCT/EDIC follow-up, discussed the eye effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists including NAION and retinopathy progression, added the Ipswich touch test to neuropathy assessment, and revised Rec 12.22 to stress combination therapy for neuropathic pain. Foot care sections now cover home foot-temperature monitoring, expanded WIfI staging, and emerging evidence that GLP-1 RAs may cut lower-extremity amputations.
