Abstract

Data obtained from the National register of covered medical services (NHRZS) on provided care developed by diabetologists, general practitioners and internists since 2010 to 2021 confirm an increased number and percentage of diabetic patients treated especially by non-insulin antidiabetic drugs by general practitioners (an increase from 4.7 % to 22,8 % diabetic patients). At the same time data offer an information on stagnation of diabetic patients treated by insulin only.

The trend registered in provided care stimulates a discussion on future way including the needs for high quality of structured and multidisciplinary approach offered to diabetic patients in future years.
