TL;DR
A 12-month randomized, controlled trial compared a nurse case management model of diabetes care with usual diabetes management in a primary care setting and showed a strong association between algorithm-directed nurse interventions and improved glycemic control.
Abstract
A nurse case manager with considerable management responsibility can, in association with primary care physicians and an endocrinologist, help improve glycemic control in diabetic patients in a group-model HMO.

A 6-month cluster visit group model of care for adults with diabetes improved glycemic control, self-efficacy, and patient satisfaction and resulted in a reduction in health care utilization after the program.
Diabetes CareModel of Complications of NIDDM: II. Analysis of the health benefits and cost-effectiveness of treating NIDDM with the goal of normoglycemia
337 Citations1997Richard C. Eastman, Jonathan C. Javitt +10 more
The incremental effectiveness of treating NIDDM with the goal of normoglycemia is estimated to be ∼ $16,000/QALY gained, which is in the range of interventions that are generally considered cost-effective.

A probabilistic model of N IDDM predicts the vascular complications of NIDDM in a cohort representative of the incident cases of diabetes in the U.S. before age 75 years, and is suitable for evaluating the effect of preventive interventions on the natural history of NIDs.

102 Citations1996Maureen I Harris
Detailed data are presented based on household interviews with a representative sample of diabetic adults in the U.S. population to indicate that the current status of most health care for diabetes does not involve a health care team and that patient knowledge and methods used for glycemic control are probably inadequate to achieve the level of glycemia that will delay or prevent diabetes complications.

It appears that primary-care physicians are not fully aware of recommended criteria for intensive treatment of blood glucose in IDDM patients or of the importance of multiple insulin injections, use of HbA1; and patient SMBG.

The two-stage valuation method applied for deriving the values for 15D dramatically simplifies the valuation process and makes the task easier than the traditional direct valuation methods.

The findings of this study were similar to those of the DCCT in terms of reduction of risk for complications, and supports the glucose hypothesis: that overall glycemic exposure drives the biochemical pathways that result in diabetic complications.
