Community based studies of diabetes control: program development and preliminary analysis.

In this report are examined the patterns of control of diabetes mellitus achieved by practicing family physicians in small communities in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. The diabetic patients under study appear to be broadly similar to patients in tertiary care settings, where most studies of diabetes care have been carried out. Motivated, competent family physicians, knowledgeable about tight control of diabetes, appear to have considerable difficulty in maintaining even modest levels of biochemical control. Goals in this study for fasting plasma glucose levels for patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) averaged between 120 and 160 mg/100 ml. Glucose levels actually achieved ranged up to 360 mg/100 ml. A similar though lesser discrepancy was noted for patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), with achieved levels ranging up to 270 mg/100 ml fasting plasma glucose. There were wide individual differences among physicians in management styles and treatment policy, including wide discrepancies in emphasis on diet, use of oral hypoglycemic agents, and insulin use. This diversity is felt to merit further investigation. Collaborative studies of this type with community based physicians are feasible and academically rewarding. Significant research questions can be addressed and answered.U
