Introduction of the oral presentation: Type 2 diabetes is associated with severe micro- and macro-vascular complications. Physicians’ and patients’ adherence to follow-up guidelines permits to avoid or postpone those complications. The objectives were to assess the level of adherence to minimal follow-up guidelines and detect patients’ characteristics associated with insufficient adherence in the context of Luxembourg, where no official guidelines were implemented.
