Brief Summary
Progress in technology has made telemedicine-based solutions with video consultations available in the management and treatment of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart failure and lung insufficiency at home. However, no direct comparisons on health outcomes of telemedicine using video consultations versus usual outpatient treatment are available. We wanted to implement a model of telemedicine and to evaluate health indicators in type 2 diabetes patients treated by video consultations or the standard outpatient treatment

Telemedicine group
EXPERIMENTALAfter initial check-up in the outpatient dept. medical treatment, control of blood glucose, blood pressure, lipids, and education was executed via videotelephone in the telemedicine group. A videotelephone, TandBerg E20, in the telemedicine group was delivered and serviced by the Danish Tele Company, TDC.
Interventions
