A guide for clinical management of type 2 diabetes, including information from a variety of sources. The guide is intended to support nurses at all levels to develop their knowledge and clinical reasoning in diabetes care.
We have focused on clinical management and while we acknowledge there is much more to working with people who live with any long-term condition than simply clinical knowledge, that will have to be another folder!
We know that this will be a work in progress and will continue to evolve over the years, partially as information changes, but also as the needs of general practice changes.
We hope you find it useful. We always welcome feedback.

Read moreThe Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease program aims to slow progression of CKD leading to end-stage renal disease and other diabetes related complications. The aims are achieved by partnering with the patient/whanau, sharing matauranga/knowledge, improving self-management skills and strategies, and enabling appropriate treatment intensification. For people living with suboptimal diabetes (Hbalc greater than 53 mmol/mol) and CKD 3B or earlier (eGFR 30 ml/min and above), please see the referral criteria and pathway for guidance.
