摘要
The present population-based study comprises 84% of all known diabetics cared for at a rural primary health care centre. Patient education has been given high priority as an integral part of the treatment provided by a specially trained nurse and dietician under the supervision of the practitioners. Most of the patients were under good metabolic control, as reflected by HbA1 (diet-treated, n = 119, 7.3 +/- 1.3%; oral agent-treated, n = 127,7.8% +/- 1.3%; insulin-treated, n = 110,8.0 +/- 1.3%; reference range 5.3 - 7.3%). Obvious reasons for any high HbA1 values were found.
