Health care use by diabetic patients in the Netherlands: patterns and predicting factors.

Abstract:

AIMS:Diabetic patients require care from a variety of health care providers, but little is known about their actual use of health care. Aims of this study were to (1) obtain information on health care use by diabetic patients in the Netherlands, (2) distinguish patterns of health care utilisation among these patients, and (3) develop insight into the factors predicting these patterns. METHOD:Data on 388 diabetic patients were extracted from a nationally representative database of patients with chronic disease. Data on health care utilisation and background variables were collected in 1998 by means of a survey. Patients' GPs registered information about medical diagnosis, illness duration and co-morbidity. Analysis included descriptive statistics, as well as cluster and logistic analysis. RESULTS:Diabetic patients use a wide range of services, but large differences exist. Four patterns of health care utilisation could be distinguished: a pattern of low consumption, one of moderate consumption with a central role for internal medicine, one of more extensive diabetes care consumption, and one of high medical and home care consumption. Type 1 diabetes appeared to be an important determinant of the moderate, mainly internal medicine pattern and the more extensive diabetes care pattern. The pattern of high medical and home care was not predicted by diabetes type, but by the presence of co-morbidity and by poor self-rated health. CONCLUSION:Despite the fact that diabetic patients use a wide range of health care services, there seems to be a problem of under utilisation, especially among type 2 diabetic patients.

  • Short term optimization of glycaemic control using insulin improves sympatho-vagal tone activities in patients with type 2 diabetes.

    abstract:INTRODUCTION:Diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is potentially life threatening and its severity might further be aggravated by poor glycaemic control. A decrease in Heart rate variability (HRV) is the earliest finding of CAN even at the sub clinical stage. While intensive glycaemic control prevents the develo...
