Primary care diabetes in Hungary.
People with diabetes are cared for by family physicians and special ambulances. Diagnostic and therapeutic interventions are similar to other European countries. The Hungarian Diabetes Association is the lead contributor to scientific events and professional and patient education. Close cooperation between health suppliers and patient's education is central to further development. Ongoing health reform may modify the access to care.
