[Surveillance of uncomplicated type 2 diabetes]. / Surveillance du diabète de type 2 non compliqué.

Follow up in type 2 diabetes must be regular with an annual check-up and pluriannual consultations of adapted frequency. It's important to consider the diabetic patient in totality: reaching the previous objectives of weight and glycaemia, all vascular risk factors and evolution to complications. Some tests are necessary (retin exam, microalbuminuria, ECG...), but with an attentive clinic exam we can avoid many useless and expensive paraclinic explorations. It's also a motivation tool for patients.
