DM 2.1 Rationale
Weight control in overweight subjects with diabetes is associated
with improved glycaemic control. There is little evidence to dictate the frequency
of recording but it is general clinical practice that BMI is assessed at least
annually.
DM 2.2 Reporting and verification
The practice reports the percentage of patients on the diabetic
register who have had a BMI recorded in the last 15 months.
