The diabetic pathway project is based on the objective of bettering the care of diabetic patients, through a new organisation of the care which should be more based on collaboration, on the sharing of information and on the coordination of activities. This project concern 6000 patients. The diabetic pathway is organised into three groups of intervention. The group called "first intention" (patient, physician and pharmacist), the multidisciplinary group (team of specialized professionals in diabetes care) and the group of independent professionals. The patients care is based on common procedures and guidelines. The physician remains the agent of the patient.
