Impact of telemedicine assessment on glycemic variability in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Experimental and in vitro studies have related glycemic variability (GV) with activation of oxidative stress, which could be involved in the micro- and macrovascular damage found in diabetes mellitus and in acute complications such as hypoglycemia. Some GV indexes are currently integrated in specialized Web sites for the analysis and assessment of diabetes patients through telemedicine. We aimed to identify the impact of telemedicine on metabolic control and GV in prepubescent patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
