Tailored Support for Type 2 Diabetes Patients With an Acute Coronary Event After Discharge From Hospital

In addition to usual care the patients will receive three home visits from a trained diabetes nurse. The first visit (65 minutes) is within three weeks after discharge from the hospital; the second visit (45 minutes) is two weeks later and the third visit (45 minutes) is two months after the second home visit.

In addition to usual care patients will receive a consultation by telephone within three weeks after discharge to offer them personal attention. In this consultation they will get the opportunity to discuss in ten to fifteen minutes how they feel in the period after discharge.
