Introduction: Good metabolic control is important in type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve quality of life, work ability and life expectancy, and the use of telemedicine has proved efficient as an add-on to the usual treatment. However, few studies in type 2 diabetes patients have directly compared telemedicine with conventional outpatient treatment, and we wanted to evaluate whether telemedicine, compared with standard care, provides equivalent clinical outcomes.
Methods: Forty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus allocated from October 2011-July 2012 were randomized to either treatment at home by video conferences only or standard outpatient treatment.
