The substitution of face-to-face visits for telematics visits has a similar effect on glycemic control (measured by HbA1c) in patients with DM1 treated with multiple daily doses of insulin (MDI) and regular metabolic control (HbA1c <8 %). It even saves costs and consumption of health resources, and improves the quality of life and satisfaction of subjects with DM1
To evaluate the effect of a 6-month Diabetic platform on telemedicine in patients with DM1 and regular metabolic control (HbA1c <8%) on MDI treatment in the following parameters:
A) Glycemic control: Mean glycemia, number of mild hypoglycemia / week, number of severe hypoglycemia / 6 months, number of hyperglycemia greater than 250mg / dl / week, number of episodes of ketosis / 6 months, number of episodes of ketoacidosis / 6meses , Number of hospital admissions due to glycemic decompensation / 6 months.
B) Glycemic variability: Standard deviation, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE).
C) Fear of hypoglycemia: scale FH-15. D) Quality of life: Diabetes Quality of Life Questionnaire (DQoL). E) Stress: DDS questionnaire.
F) Costs and consumption of health resources:
