INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic creates a challenge in the provision of care
for patients with diabetes. Furthermore, those with uncontrolled diabetes are at
a higher risk for complications due to COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to
find an innovative method to sustain effective diabetes care services amidst the
COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Outpatient diabetes care was successfully transformed
from traditional face-to-face encounters in the clinic to an online telemedicine
service. RESULTS: 1,972 patients were encountered over a 4-week study period
during which we had a low proportion of unreached patients (4%). Some patients
were still seen in person because they came as walk-in visits or insisted to be
seen in person. CONCLUSION: Telemedicine has become an essential healthcare
service and could be augmented by the use of technology like web-based
applications and communication via transfer of data from patients' glucometer,
insulin pumps, or sensors. Diabetes care can be transitioned to telemedicine
effectively and would be successful in reaching more patients than by traditional
face-to-face visits. This model of care is time consuming and unfortunately does
not reduce the need for medical staff.
