title: Management of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
abstract: Management of the patient with NIDDM requires the skill and patience of the physician and the input of a health team, including the dietitian and nurse educator. With perseverance and careful follow up, most treatment goals can be achieved in these patients. The attitude of neglect and easy treatment goals that previously characterized the care of these patients are not justified.
