Rationale: Accounting for the growth, aging and detrimental life style changes in the Dutch population, the investigators expect further growth of number of known diabetes patients. The economic burden with this increase will be enormous, the healthcare system is under increasing pressure to provide better but more time efficient service to more people with limited human resources. the investigators hypothesize that, by increasing the patients self-management by offering remote care services, this reduction of the individual caseload can be achieved.
