OPTIMISE-CEEMEA is a multinational, multi-centre, observational, prospective study which will include patients suffering from diabetes type 2, treated or untreated, insulin dependent or not insulin dependent. In this study we aim to explore at a primary care level whether the use of benchmarking against a set of guideline-based reference values on a patient basis, may improve quality of patient care, in particular control of diabetes, lipids and blood pressure.
