Testing a new way to manage diabetes and high blood pressure in Hong Kong

This trial is testing a new coordinated care program called the Chronic Disease Co-Care (CDCC) Pilot Scheme in Hong Kong. The program brings together family doctors, nurses, and specialists like dietitians and physiotherapists to create personalized health plans for people with diabetes and high blood pressure. Researchers want to see if this teamwork approach helps people manage their conditions better and costs less than usual care.

Many people with diabetes and high blood pressure see different doctors who don't always share information, making it harder to manage these conditions well. This trial exists to test whether having one coordinated team managing your care leads to better health outcomes and is worth the investment.
