What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether integration of vision care into the DM treatment system, by providing specific recommendations to doctors for management of diabetes alongside feedback on positive eye exams for DR can improve diabetes care outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does delivery of specific diabetes management recommendations to diabetes doctors for patients of theirs found to have DR lead to significantly improved blood glucose control as indicated by % reaching WHO targets of HbA1c (or targets for blood sugar if HbA1c data are unavailable)? 2. What is the cost-effectiveness of the intervention, measured as total intervention cost per additional participant reaching the WHO target? Researchers will compare participant adherence with international guidelines when DR results are provided by a PIS without specific care recommendations to when the PIS provides DR results with specific care recommendations for DM management.
