Abstract

Abstract: Access to quality care outside of the clinical setting is challenging. Patients often need support to self-manage their disease. The purpose of this critical appraisal is to examine the efficacy of telephone follow-up support for patients with uncontrolled diabetes. Evidence indicates that telephone follow-up can improve diabetes outcomes.
