About

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the collaborative care model in Singapore in which clinical pharmacists, nurses and dietitians are active participants who collaborate with physicians in caring for patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).Since DM is a cardiovascular risk equivalent, co-morbidities such as hypertension (HTN) and dyslipidaemia (DLP) will also be evaluated to assess the holistic care provided for the investigator's patients afflicted with these top chronic diseases in Singapore.
