Brief Summary

Introduction Type 2 Diabetes is a very prevalent chronic disease in our environment. It usually exists with other chronic diseases. Although drug intensification at the time of new diagnosis has proven effective in reduction of cardiovascular and diabetes control and complications, an intensification of comprehensive health education has not been proven so. Currently, there is a great variability in practices of Primary Care nurses in front of the health education in the moment of new diagnosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a systematic protocol with an integrated care in people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (DM2) and associated comorbidities, which included 5 structured individual visits post-diagnosis with the Primary care nurse. Methods Quasi-experimental design, comparing a group of individuals taking part in the intervention with a similar group receiving usual care. Data will be collected at the beginning, at the end of the intervention and after 6 and 12 months. 10 primary care centers in the city of Barcelona will be selected on a convenience basis as IG and CG. The subjects of the GC will be monitored as usual. Performed analysis will be the baseline comparability between GI and GC in relationship to different variables as well as the changes in dependent variables along the study; establishing comparisons between GC and GI . The results will be measured in terms of quality of life related to health, development of biological parameters (HbA1c and weight) and compliance with the therapeutic plan. Discussion The results of this study will help to 1)demonstrate that by intensifying the hygienic-dietetic measures in the initial stage of DM2 diagnosis, the disease and associated co-morbidities are controlled in a better way. 2) validate a material that allows to decrease the variability in the care offered by primary care nurses to people in this group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Change is being assessed in Health Related Quality of Life will be measured through the EuroQoL (EQ-5D)

    The EQ-5D health questionnaire provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value for health status.

    The outcome measure will be measured before, up to 3,6 and 12 months to assess its change

  • HbA1c

    Glycosylated hemoglobin for having a clinical response.

    up to 12 months.

  • Change is being assessed in Weigh

    Weigh for having a clinical response.

    The outcome measure will be measured before, up to 3,6 and 12 months to assess its change

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Dietary habits: PREDIMED

    baseline, up to 3,6 and 12 months.

  • Physical activity: IPAQ

    baseline, up to 3,6 and 12 months.

  • Use of services in the last year

    Measure the year after diagnosis in both groups

Study Arms (2)

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Group of participants with a recent DM2 debut (less than 5 months) treated according to the comprehensive care protocol in DM2 with comorbidities attended in Primary care nurse office

Other: Comprehensive care protocol in new diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and associated comorbidities in Primary Care

comparison group

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in the study that do not receive the intervention. usual care.

Interventions

This comprehensive intervention is developed in a structured way in the Primary care nurse office. 5 individual intensive visits will be carried out with a weekly or bi-weekly frequency (according to the learning process) to work for an integral care and to transmit the knowledge and skills required. The maximum time expected to receive this 5 visits is 3 months. At least one of the visits, preferably the one that deals with dietary aspects, the patient is asked to be visited with the partner, child or cohabiting person. The research team elaborated the support material with the minimum contents that every patient that begins with T2DM and other chronic pathologies should know. It allows incorporating cultural and emotional aspects. It was agreed with hospital diabetes educators and family doctors. A graphic designer gave an enticing design. A group of patients verified their utility and intelligibility. It is delivered to the person and discussed during the intensification.
