Value-based Care in Type 2 Diabetes (Enhancing T2D Care)

Améliorer La Prise En Soins Et La Qualité De Vie Des Patients Diabétiques De Type 2 (Alliance DT2)

The aim of this study is to obtain a better glycemic index score (decrease) by improving the care and quality of life of type 2 diabetic patients for a possible remission of diabetes.

This will be achieved through an intervention that includes a strategy for training primary care physicians and other healthcare professionals in patient therapeutic education (TPE), as well as group and/or individual TPE-related activities/tools made available to patients, funded and encouraged for individualized planning. Intervention follow-up will be carried out by means of quality-of-life questionnaires for patients who have undergone the new method, compared with patients who have received the usual care.
