Glycemic Outcomes of Endocrinology Consultation for Type 2 Diabetes by Visit Modality: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Key Points

This study aims to compare glycemic outcomes by visit modality for individuals with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes receiving endocrinology consultations.
Retrospective cohort study design
Comparison of glycemic outcomes after e-consult, audio-only telemedicine, and in-person consultations
Analysis of 6-month follow-up data
e-Consult and audio-only telemedicine were linked to worse glycemic outcomes compared to in-person care
Video telemedicine produced glycemic results similar to in-person consultations
Recommendations for improving support in e-consult and audio-only modalities to match in-person outcomes

Abstract

e-Consult and audio-only telemedicine for initial endocrinology consultations were associated with inferior 6-month glycemic outcomes compared with in-person care among adults with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, and video telemedicine had similar glycemic outcomes. e-Consult and audio-only telemedicine care protocols may need to incorporate additional support for patients to achieve glycemic outcomes equivalent to in-person consultation.
