Overview

Retrospective study evaluates telemedicine's effectiveness in diabetes education for youth with type 1 diabetes, suggesting improved access to care.

Key Points

  • The study aimed to evaluate telemedicine's impact on diabetes education outcomes and healthcare utilization in youth with type 1 diabetes.
  • Retrospective analysis of youth <18 years diagnosed with type 1 diabetes receiving diabetes education from January 2020 to September 2022.
  • Comparison of glycemic outcomes and healthcare utilization between in-person and hybrid telemedicine education.
  • Utilized generalized linear models to adjust for distance to the hospital.
  • Both groups showed significant A1C improvement from baseline with A1C dropping to 7.8%, but no statistical difference between groups (P = 0.73).
  • No significant differences in emergency department visits (OR 0.67, P = 0.33) or readmission rates (OR 0.58, P = 0.35).
  • The hybrid group had 89% higher odds of completing visits via telemedicine (P < 0.001).
