Our intervention consisted of 1) an empowerment-based counselling program; 2) a standardized medical report:Empowerment-based counselling program. This was originally developed in Denmark with seven face-to-face consultations for people with type 1 diabetes [Standardized medical report. This was produced by the interprofessional team to facilitate the dialogue between nurses and physicians throughout the consultations and to ensure that current national clinical diabetes guidelines for the treatment of T2D and fidelity in applying the GSD principles were fulfilled during the consultations. Moreover, the GSD principles were included in the medical report to standardize its use across all participants during the consultations. Both nurses and physicians used the standardized medical report in the consultations.The intervention was delivered as individual consultations, with one initial nurse consultation at baseline to get insights comprising the patients’ thoughts and wishes for the cooperation with the healthcare professionals, followed by three face-to-face consultations over one year (three, six and 12 months). Nurses undertook an autonomous role in communication and counselling based on a structured agreement between nurses and physicians, beyond instrumental monitoring of blood pressure or other tasks and procedures delegated or ordered by the physicians. We provide further details of the 12-month program in
