Case scenario
Christine is 58 years old and has had type 2 diabetes for 11 years. The practice nurse has suggested a GP management plan because the Service Incentive Payment (SIP) cycle of the Commonwealth Government’s National Integrated Diabetes Program has highlighted that Christine’s ABCss are off target (see Table 1).
