Abstract
A quality primary care framework for diabetes self-management (DSM) is presented on the basis of prevalent office setting changes. Recent DSM research and literature are reviewed concerning (a) patients' DSM perceptions and office visit experiences and (b) more effective office-based DSM programs. This quality primary care framework enables nurse clinicians to more consistently assess and integrate individual patient factors using typically limited clinic resources into office visits to optimize DSM patient outcomes.
