Data sharing statement: No additional data are available.""Patients with chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus have to deal with challenging day-to-day management tasks regarding the medical, emotional and social consequences of their chronic condition.1 2 Research has shown a reciprocal relationship between the emotional health status of people with diabetes and their medical self-management: emotional distress may interfere with control over the disease, whereas poor control over the disease can lead to emotional distress.3�C6 Studies highlight the need to support the medical as well as the emotional and role management tasks in newly diagnosed patients and patients who face the longer-term consequences of their chronic condition.7�C9 In European countries, most patients with diabetes receive follow-up care in the primary care setting by nurses.10 Practice nurses (PNs) in the Netherlands work according to guidelines that focus on medical and behavioural management.11 12 Furthermore, the financial reimbursement of care and patients�� health outcomes are determined by biomedical targets.13 Consequently, the psychosocial aspects of diabetes care are not systematically incorporated in clinical practice.10 13�C15 In collaboration with a regional care group of general practitioners (GPs) in the Netherlands and a health insurer, the SMS (��Self-Management Support��) implementation project was initiated to realise a shift from biomedically oriented care towards a biopsychosocial approach in diabetes care.16 The starting point was a nurse-led minimal psychological intervention. A previous randomised trial has shown that this intervention was cost-effective for patients with diabetes with minor to moderate depression: 9?months after receiving the intervention, depressive symptoms were significantly lower, there was a positive Telomerase effect on patients�� quality of life, and patients experienced less anxiety, possessed more self-efficacy skills, demonstrated better glycaemic control and showed more participation in comparison to control patients.17�C19 There was an implementation momentum. The health insurer promised to pay the costs for the extra care, and the care group gave a commitment to take care of training facilities and integration of SMS parameters into Electronic Medical Records. Some adjustments to the nurse-led intervention were crucial.
