This article explains diabetes disease management concepts and interventions aimed at improving clinical outcomes illustrated with details of the Lovelace Health Systems Diabetes Episodes of Care programme. The effectiveness of diabetes disease management programmes can best be evaluated by the clinical outcome of haemoglobin A measures.

Coordination of previously fragmented services, eventual reduction of long term complications and meeting regulatory standards are potential achievements of these programmes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
