Abstract
Current Research on Telemonitoring In Patients with Diabetes Mellitus: A Short Pragmatic Narrative Review
Highlights
Intensive glucose control has been shown to delay or prevent the development of micro- and macrovascular complications related to diabetes
50% of diabetic patients, especially elderly patients followed in hospital or in referral centres, have macrovascular complications as myocardial infarction (MI), obliterating arteritis of the lower limbs or stroke, even chronic heart failure (CHF) in the elderlies [4]
We review with a pragmatic mind and a clinical vision the literature in the field of remote monitoring of diabetic patients
Summary
Since the beginning of the 1990’s, several telemedicine projects and studies focused on type 1 and type 2 diabetes have been developed. These projects and studies show that telemonitoring diabetic result in: improved blood glucose control; a significant reduction in HbA1c; improved patient ownership of the disease; greater patient adherence to therapeutic and hygiene-dietary measures; positive impact on co-morbidities (hypertension, weight, dyslipidemia); improved quality of life for patients; and at least good patient receptivity and accountability. Two examples are the DIABETe and Telesage telemonitoring project which perfectly fits within the telemedicine 2.0 framework, being the firsts to include artificial intelligence with MyPrediTM and DiabeoTM (AI)
