Telemedicine support improves diabetes control

Última actualización 7 de julio de 2026

Key finding

The intervention group showed significantly better HbA1c values compared to the control group at both 12 and 24 months (12 M: -0.52 (-0.73; -0.32), p < .000).

A study found that combining telephone coaching with telemedicine support significantly improved long-term glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Plain-language summary

What this paper says

A plain-language read of the study’s main message and where it applies.

Study focus

A study found that combining telephone coaching with telemedicine support significantly improved long-term glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Clinical relevance

Improving glycemic control is crucial for managing type 2 diabetes and preventing complications. This study suggests that integrating telemedicine with personalized coaching can be an effective strategy for enhancing patient outcomes, potentially leading to better long-term health and reduced healthcare costs.

Keep in mind

The effectiveness of the intervention remains unclear due to limited evidence. Sample size and demographic diversity may affect generalizability. Potential confounding factors were not fully controlled.

Efectos Principales

The intervention group demonstrated a significant reduction in HbA1c at 12 months (-0.52%, p < .000).

At 24 months, the intervention group continued to show better HbA1c levels (-0.38%, p = .001).

No significant change in BMI was observed in the intervention group at 12 months.
