Experiences with tailoring of primary diabetes care in well-organised general practices: a mixed-methods study

Abstract Background Dutch standard diabetes care is generally protocol-driven. However, considering that general practices wish to tailor diabetes care to individual patients and encourage self-management, particularly in light of current COVID-19 related constraints, protocols and other barriers ma...
