| Abstract | A sample of 77% of the non-insulin dependent diabetics aged 30-70 years from two urban practices offering no structured diabetic care were interviewed. The 55 patients (mean age 60 years) were asked about their experiences and expectations of diabetes and the health professionals involved in their care. Twenty-six patients attended the hospital diabetic clinic regularly but 13 patients received no review at all; 46 patients wanted their general practitioner to be involved in future care and only six wanted to continue with hospital review alone. Patients gave hospital doctors and general practitioners similar high ratings for knowledge of diabetes and its management but general practitioners and practice nurses were rated more highly for communication and accessibility. The aspect of care valued most was being given clear information about diabetic management. Twenty two patients thought that diabetes would have a significant impact on their future health and 35 rated regular diabetic review as extremely important in keeping themselves healthy. Most patients felt it likely that they would have a high blood glucose level most of the time and develop diabetic complications. Little difference was found between the views of clinic attenders and non-attenders, and there was no evidence that non-attenders had actively rejected review. These non-insulin dependent diabetics considered diabetes to be a serious disorder warranting regular care and expressed confidence in the primary care team's ability to provide such care. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
