Area of Science:

  • General Practice
  • Endocrinology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Type 2 diabetes (DM2) management requires patient engagement and understanding of risks.
  • Assessing patient practices, satisfaction, and functional status is crucial for effective DM2 care.
  • General Practitioner (GP) care plays a central role in managing DM2.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document patient practices and management strategies for type 2 diabetes (DM2).
  • To evaluate patient satisfaction with diabetes care provided by General Practitioners (GPs).
  • To assess the quality of life and functional status of patients with DM2.

Main Methods:

  • An anonymous questionnaire was administered to 467 patients with DM2.
  • Patients were recruited through 204 GPs across 124 practices in the Perth metropolitan area.

  • Data collected included patient practices, satisfaction, quality of life, and functional status.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients with stable DM2 reported adequate self-monitoring.
    • A significant lack of awareness regarding diabetes risk factors and existing complications was observed.
    • High patient satisfaction (90%) with GP care was reported; functional disability was minimal (2.4%).

    Conclusions:

    • Patients express high satisfaction with diabetes care from their GPs.
    • A notable gap exists in patient awareness of DM2 risk factors and complications.
    • A strategy promoting shared responsibility and improved patient education is proposed to address these deficits.
