A systematic approach to diabetes care.
Effective care for patients with diabetes in general practice requires a systematic approach. This can be achieved by establishing a patient register and recall system, by using a checklist or protocol, and by developing a team approach, involving practice staff and other professionals outside the practice. Education and mutual support are also essential components of diabetes care.
