Team diabetes: Internists say it takes a group to manage diabetes ... American Medical News

AMNews: May 16, 2005. Team diabetes: Internists say it takes a group to manage diabetes ... American Medical News:

When it comes to diabetes care, primary care physicians no longer are being asked to shoulder the burden alone.

In recognition of both the fact that the disease's incidence continues to increase and its management is becoming more complicated, the American College of Physicians launched a $10 million, three-year diabetes project. The initiative aims to improve care by advancing a team-approach model and providing educational tools for physicians, allied health care practitioners and patients."
