[Six years structured individualised treatment of patients with type 2-diabetes in general practice. Secondary publication].
We examined whether a multifactorial intervention with personal treatment goals had a different effect on men's and women's HbA1c, knowledge, attitude towards illness, lifestyle, and social support in a randomized controlled trial including 874 newly-diagnosed patients with diabetes > or = 40 years. After six years women who received routine care had 1.10 times higher HbA1c and fewer consultations than women in the intervention group. No difference was found among men. Neither consultations, knowledge, lifestyle, attitudes nor social support explained the gendered result.
