In 2020, the Japan Diabetes Society (JDS) adopted a sweeping decision to release consensus statements on relevant issues in diabetes management that require updating from time to time and launched a “JDS Committee on Consensus Statement Development”. These consensus statements are intended to present the committee's take on diabetes management in Japan based on evidence currently available for each of the issues addressed. It is thus hoped that practicing diabetologists will never fail to consult these statements to provide the best available practice in their respective clinical settings. Of note, while as many as one-third of all people with diabetes in the world are shown to be concentrated in the Asian region, diabetes mellitus varies in its pathology, including the extent of obesity involved in affected patients, between the East and West. Again, given that timely consensus statements to come out of Japan are thus expected to have enormous implications for clinical practice, it is also planned to make each consensus statement available in English.Following publication in 2020 of the committee’s first consensus statement on “Medical Nutrition Therapy and Dietary Counseling for People with Diabetes.”(Tonyobyou. 2020; 63 (3): 91–109) in Japanese, the committee has taken this opportunity to propose a consensus “algorithm for pharmacotherapy in people with diabetes”, in this statement. There are three reasons that prompted the committee to address this issue. First, there are characteristic differences in diabetes pathology between Westerners and the Japanese,
