title: [General practitioner and care procedure for diabetes].
abstract: A care procedure for type 2 diabetics was set up in Belgium in 2009. A three-way contract can be concluded between some patients, their general practitioner and their diabetologist to improve support, to promote communication among the care givers and to stimulate the patients' active participation and self-evaluation. The care teams are backed up by instructors, dieticians and podologists. Financial incentives have been set up for the patients as well as for the doctors. A global evaluation will take place in 2012.
