Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affected everyone’s life and especially those with chronic conditions, such as diabetes. Therefore, the need for medical care in such populations resulted in identification of new models of health care avoiding physical consultation and reducing the risk of COVID-19 transmission, giving emphasis to telemedicine. There is an increasing amount of studies showing the beneficial impact of the use of telemedicine in patients with type 1 diabetes, while for patients with type 2 diabetes the existing data are limited and conflicting. Therefore, the aim of the present review is to summarize the existing literature data on the impact of telemedicine on the follow-up of patients with diabetes during the pandemic as well as its place in the management of patients with diabetes in the future.
