Abstract
In this article we present a critical evaluation of the development of a protocol to support district nurses in the domiciliary annual review of older people with diabetes. We discuss the protocol's development, identifying its limitations and making recommendations for its use. We conclude that although the protocol is a useful starting point its validity is challenged by a lack of primary research regarding the care of older people with diabetes. More work is needed to identify appropriate remedial therapy following the annual review. The health education component also requires development to better reflect the different needs of older people
