Objective: To measure whether the benefits of a single education and self management structured programme for people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus are sustained at three years.
Design: Three year follow-up of a multicentre cluster randomised controlled trial in primary care, with randomisation at practice level.
Setting: 207 general practices in 13 primary care sites in the United Kingdom.

Trials of interventions incorporating education about self-monitoring of blood glucose have reported mixed results. A recent systematic review concluded that SMBG was not cost-effective.
