title: Evidence-based practice protocol to improve glucose control in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
abstract: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a major public health problem in the United States. In adult patients with type 2 DM, what is the effect of adding a follow-up telephone intervention by an APRN on blood glucose control as compared to standard treatment alone? Findings from one systematic review and five randomized control trials were used to support a protocol to elicit improvement in glycemic control.
