Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
metabolic control (HbA1c concentrations) at Month 9
The noninferiority of HbA1C concentration between the groups (the difference of HbA1c between the groups will be less than 5 mmol/mol,
Month 9 visit
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Control of glycemia levels by CGM data evaluation.
Month 3, Month 6, and Month 9
Duration of the dia visit
Month 3and Month 6
Patient´s satisfaction of regular and telemedicine (email) visits.
Month 9
Study Arms (2)
Telemedicine arm
EXPERIMENTALParticipants in this arm will be follow up by telemedicine control (via emails) instead of regular controls. They will upload the data from their devices (pump, CGM) to cloud system on their own. All instructions what to change they will recive by email only.
Outpatient clinic meetings arm
NO INTERVENTIONParticipants in this arm will normally come for the regular meetings with their diabetologist to the outpatient clinic.
Interventions
Replacement of the regullar meeting with diabetologist by remote communication only
