Is specialist care necessary for diabetics living in small communities?
The author describes her experience with treating diabetic patients in a small community. The practice of referring these patients to a regional centre was not producing the quality of treatment that physicians in the community desired for their patients. The problem was solved by setting up a local out-patient diabetic centre. The author discusses how this clinic serves its clients, and ways in which it has benefited their health.
