4 days ago

Telemedicine interventions significantly improve HbA1c levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients compared to usual care.
Other significant improvements include fasting blood glucose, weight, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
No significant differences were found in high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.
Telemedicine delivered by physicians, dietitians, and researchers showed the greatest efficacy in managing blood glucose levels.
Both short-term and long-term telemedicine interventions were effective, but medium-term interventions did not show statistical significance.
The study included 58 randomized controlled trials with 13,942 participants, showing high heterogeneity.
