Brief Summary:
The objective of this study was to evaluate a virtual diabetes clinic model, for adults with either type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes, that supports integration of CGM into diabetes self-management and use of decision support technology.
Detailed Description:
Although demand for endocrinology care continues to grow, access to specialized care may be impacted by geographic isolation and a shortage in the number of endocrinologists in the United States. CGM use has been endorsed for individuals with T1D by the American Diabetes Association, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, the Endocrine Society, and the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes. Despite these recommendations and the compelling evidence of the benefits of CGM, many individuals with T1D or insulin-using T2D have not incorporated CGM into their diabetes management.
The study was designed to assess feasibility and efficacy of establishing a virtual diabetes clinic with a focus on introduction and training related to use of CGM technology and ongoing CGM use to minimize such rate-limiting factors as geography, cost and access to specialty care. The virtual diabetes clinic model included a comprehensive care team with support for diabetes technology such as CGM and decision support to align with current recommendations in diabetes care. The virtual diabetes clinic model also included mental health screening and support services, particularly for diabetes-related issues.
