Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Observational studies support Self-determination Theory by finding autonomous motivation and perceived competence associated with improved HbA1c-levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Hence, research is needed to develop and test interventions that are autonomy supportive.
Aim To develop a training course for practice-nurses in autonomy support in patients with type 2 diabetes, and to evaluate the effect on patient outcomes.
Methods The development of the intervention was based on literature research and expert meetings. The intervention is evaluated in a cluster randomised controlled trial with 40 Danish general practices,
* where nurses, before enrolment in the study, provided consultations to patients with type 2 diabetes,
* and about 2500 patients with type 2 diabetes, identified in a Diabetes Database.
The patients will be followed 15 months from nurse-participation in the course. Data will be obtained from registers and patient-questionnaires. The hypothesis is that patients with type 2 diabetes regardless of education level, age, and gender will benefit from the intervention.

Training course for practice nurses in autonomy support
Training course for practice nurses in autonomy support
An interactive course consisting of 4X4 hours education in autonomy support over a 6 months period. The main-components in the course are 1) communication skills, 2) introduction to patient work-sheets and 3) a quick up-to-date knowledge about treatment recommendations of type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, the nurses in the intervention-practices receive a half an hour support-visit 4-5 months after the end of the course.
Control
Control practices were randomly drawn from among intervention practice applicants and were informed by mail about their status as control practice.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
1. more than 50% of the patients with type 2 diabetes, who had participated in diabetes-consultations during the last year from the invitation-date to the project, were seen by a nurse at least once, stated by the practice. The diabetes-consultation should not only include examinations (blood tests and blood pressure measurement), but should also include communication about living with type 2 diabetes ;
2. enrollment in the project before registration deadline (three weeks after invitation).
Patients with diabetes, alive and affiliated the practices by May 2011, were identified in a a validated diabetes database based on health registers; The national Patient Registry, The national Health Insurance Service registry, the prescription database and the laboratory database in the county.
