In 2015, it was revised and brought more objectivity maintaining the vital signs, anthropometric measurements, laboratory results, emergency or hospitalization care, diabetic foot evaluation and information on physical activities. In the same year, the need of sharing the management of care with the user, a singular therapeutic project form was developed, which symbolized a contract between the patient and the professional. At the end of 2017, in addition to contributing to the follow-up of the disease, ensure continuity of care and communication between the team, the return-on-consultation records stood out, since it was a priority to ensure compliance with the LCHD flowchart.
