A questionnaire returned by 250 (71.4%) of the 350 general practices in Northern Ireland indicated that although only 34 practices had special arrangements for seeing their diabetic patients, 178 practices stated that they would like to be more involved in the care of their non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients. One hundred and eight practices felt the same way about their insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients. One hundred practices stated that the partners felt competent to manage their diabetic patients. The main area where general practitioners felt they needed to improve their knowledge was ophthalmology (56 practices). When asked which type of care scheme would appeal most to their practice, 135 practices stated that regular attendance with the general practitioner and annual hospital review would be the preferred arrangement. Overall there was a positive attitude towards increased general practitioner involvement in diabetes care.
