Primary care diabetes in Ukraine.
People with diabetes in Ukraine are cared for by endocrinology specialists. Implementation of the National Diabetes Plan solved the problem of free insulin supply. However, many problems of diabetic care, including increase of accessibility to some laboratory tests and treatments, are still unresolved. An increase of life expectancy among diabetic patients has been noted during the past 5 years.
