Title: Glasgow Supported Self-Management Randomised Controlled Trial for Patients With Moderate/ Severe COPD - GSuST
Brief Summary: Training patients to alter their own therapy early in the course of a developing exacerbation (self-management) has been shown to improve outcomes in asthma, but there is no good evidence on this for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Case management, with patients having an identified contact who helps them access care when necessary, has been shown to improve outcomes in recent studies. A combined approach, called supported selfmanagement, may be particularly suitable for this socially and often educationally disadvantaged group of patients.We propose to identify 500 patients at the time of an exacerbation to test this combined strategy in a randomised manner. The primary outcome measure will be readmission to hospital or death due to COPD, important in terms of patient preferences, quality of life and health costs. This will provide important information about intermediate care for COPD patients which should influence service provision within the NHS in Scotland


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* People diagnosed with COPD or diabetes type 2 who are predominantly treated in primary care and who benefit from more physical activity, will be included. -This means patients who do not comply with the Dutch Norm for Healthy Exercise (30 minutes activity per day of a moderate intensity during five days a week)
* Their age should be between 40-70 years to ensure homogeneity in the groups
* Additional inclusion criteria for the diabetes group are a recent (no longer than a year ago) HbA1c concentration of more than 7% / more than 53 mmol/mol and a body mass index of more than 25kg/m2

For the COPD group the following additional inclusion criteria apply:

-A clinical diagnosis of COPD according to the GOLD-criteria stage 1, 2 and 3 (post bronchodilator FEV1/IVC \<= 70% and FEV1 between 30 and 80% of the predicted value); at least six weeks respiratory stable and on a stable drug regimen

Exclusion Criteria:

-Patients older than 70 years are not included because of a bigger risk for co-morbidity and a higher chance of mobility problems (balance)
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* COPD
* recent hospital admission with exacerbation
* normal cognitive function (MMSE of 9 or 10)

Exclusion Criteria:

* asthma
* LVF

* cognitive impairments
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* in treatment corresponding to GOLD-guidelines
* motivated for treatment of COPD
* COPD is the primary disease
* fixed residence and be affiliated to a general practitioner in North Denmark Region
* At least one of the following criteria should also be met: MRCm (modified) ≥ 2 or MRC ≥3, CAT ≥ 10, have had at least 2 exacerbations within the last 12 months
