[Comprehensive care in type 2 diabetes: from DiabeIMSS to CADIMSS].

In diabetes, obtaining optimal control is key to reducing chronic complications. Unfortunately, not all patients achieve the recommended goals. Therefore, the challenges to develop and evaluate comprehensive care models are enormous. In October 2008, the Diabetic Patient Care Program (DiabetIMSS) was designed and implemented in family medicine. Its principal component is the multidisciplinary team (doctor, nurse, psychologist, dietitian, dentist, and social worker) that offers coordinated health care; monthly medical consultation and individual, family and group education on self-care and prevention of complications for 12 months. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the percentage of attendance at the DiabetIMSS modules decreased significantly. This is how the Medical Director considered it necessary to strengthen them, and the Diabetes Care Centers (CADIMSS) arose. In addition to providing medical care with a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, the CADIMSS encourages the co-responsibility of the patient and his family. It consists of monthly medical consultation and nursing staff provides monthly educational sessions for 6 months. Pending tasks remain and there are still areas of opportunity to modernize and reorganize services that contribute to improving the health of the population with diabetes.
