Detailed Description
After being informed verbally and in text participants will sign a consent to participate. The participant will then be randomized to either use a digital diabetes self management education and support system for 10 weeks together with a diabetes nurse, or to continue with the regular care. The effects will be evaluated after 6, 12 and 36 months from randomization with emphasis on cardiovascular risk factors, life-style, diabetes knowledge and health economics.
