The care of diabetes mellitus at a community health centre
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with a high prevalence of about 2.0 per cent in the australian community. Although hospital diabetic clinics play an important role in the management of diabetic patients, the majority are managed by their local doctor. In this article the possible role of a health centre in the care of diabetics is outlined.
