Effect of virtual care in type 2 diabetes management - a systematic umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes is an increasingly prevalent and costly chronic disease worldwide, and a large cause of unnecessary disease burden. To address the growing burden of diabetes, care models should support management of diabetes in primary care to reduce reliance on overstretched hospital-based specialists services. Virtual care presents an opportunity to provide diabetes care remotely, potentially enhancing the accessibility and efficiency of healthcare services. This review aimed to identify existing evidence on the effectiveness of virtual care on diabetes management, and the extent to which video components are included in the evidence base.
