Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that can be fatal to high-risk patients infected with the coronavirus. Many diabetic patients have been treated in a hospital setting. The coronavirus era is driving new approaches to how to manage diabetes. We belong to the community and a more therapeutic and supportive environment will make us healthier. Many resources are available in communities, but they are not utilized to their full extent because patients are treated in a traditional way, mostly at a hospital or clinic. Therefore, patient care is often redundant and segmented, and sometimes patients do not receive the simple and cost-effective care they need. Care coordination and an integrated approach could be one solution to these problems. Patients and doctors should be aware of the availability of hospital-based home healthcare and integrated healthcare services from community health centers that provide high-quality at-home care. A continuous health education program using health information technology could be a good way to increase diabetic patientsâ compliance with self-care, especially medication compliance, therapeutic meals, and daily exercise.
