Abstract:
The care of patients with diabetes is complex and longitudinal. Improved management of diabetic risk factors can decrease long-term complications such as cardiovascular disease, renal failure, vision impairment, and amputation. A variety of telehealth options are available which may improve patient access to needed care as well as a provider understanding of the challenges for an individual patient. Health care teams must be thoughtful about how best to incorporate telehealth into the care of patients with diabetes.
