Glucose Control, Self-Care Behaviors, and the Presence of the Chronic Care Model in Primary Care Clinics

Abstract

Characteristics of the primary care clinic where one receives care are an important predictor of glucose control. If resources for implementing the CCM are limited, one might want to focus on clinics with low ACIC scores that serve a population of patients who are sedentary because this population may be likely to realize the most benefit from improved glucose control.
