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

What is it about?

Telemedicine is widely used to increase access to endocrinology care for type 2 diabetes. We examined outcomes of initial endocrinology consultations conducted through e-consult, telemedicine (audio-only or video), and in-person. We found that patients who received consultation through e-consult or audio-only telemedicine were less likely to achieve 6-month blood glucose goal compared to those who received in-person care, while video telemedicine outcomes were similar to in-person care.
