  Abstract

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is rising rapidly in the UK, and most practices will now have around 4% of their registered population living with diabetes. The care of people with diabetes has in the last 20 years moved from being a largely hospital-based activity to one largely carried out in primary care (Gadsby, 2009). The Quality and Outcomes Framework of the new GP contract introduced in 2004 has provided encouragement and incentive for primary care to take on this work. All GPs and doctors training to become GPs therefore need to have an understanding of up to date diabetes management.
