Cost-Effectiveness of Facilitated Access to a Self-Management Website, Compared to Usual Care, for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes (HeLP-Diabetes): Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the most common long-term conditions, and costs health services approximately 10% of their total budget.
