Management of type 2 diabetes in Australian general practice.
The BEACH program, a continuous national study of general practice activity in Australia, gives us an overview of type 2 diabetes management in Australian general practice. Terms used by the general practitioner participants included in this analysis were: type 2 diabetes, noninsulin dependent diabetes, diabetes mellitus, adult onset diabetes, and insulin treated type 2 diabetes. This provides a backdrop against which the articles in this issue of Australian Family Physician can be further considered.
