Comprehensive diabetes management represents a challenge for the general practitioner. The dietary, monitoring, educational and counselling components of comprehensive diabetes care can place severe time demands on the doctor who may not feel sufficiently confident to deal with all these issues. The 'pitfalls' described are among those frequently identified in patients referred to the Diabetes Centre at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney.
