COVID-19 Lockdown Related Telemedicine for Type 2 Diabetes

January 23, 2021 updated by: Wenwen Yin

Impact of Telemedicine on Young and Middle-aged Obese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus During COVID-19 Pandemic

At present, in order to cope with the global pandemic of the COVID-19 virus, governments have introduced corresponding measures, COVID-19 lockdown is one of the most important measures. However, lockdown makes the management of chronic diseases (such as type 2 diabetes) more difficult, and telemedicine may be one of the solutions. We hope to explore the effect of telemedicine on blood glucose control and other prognostic indicators of young and middle-aged obese patients with type 2 diabetes who will experience isolation control.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

We recruit patients with type 2 diabetes who need to be isolated due to the COVID-19 epidemic, Our study will include young and middle-aged obese patients. The lockdown period is 21 days. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups with a total follow-up time of 6 months. One group is the telemedicine intervention group, and the other group is the routine follow-up control group. The intervention group used the hospital telemedicine management system to upload blood glucose values (fasting and 2h after three meals), food intake of three meals, and exercise volume (Data collection frequency: first three months, 4 times/week; 4-6 Month, 2 times/week).Doctors will collect data from hospital telemedicine management system to guide patients on diets, exercise, and medication adjustments. The control group will be followed up by telephone/outpatient clinic every 1 week. (only telephone follow-up will be conducted during the lockdown period) Then doctors will collect their blood glucose values.(fasting and 2h after three meals) Based on the data collected, The doctors will provide lifestyle guidance to the patients on the telephone or face to face. The clinical data of the two groups of patients will be collected at baseline, 22 days, 3 months, and 6 months respectively. (HbA1c, fasting blood glucose(FBG), blood glucose 2 hours after breakfast, blood pressure, Body Mass Index(BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), Blood Urea Nitrogen(BUN), serum creatinine(Scr), e-GFR, Self-rating Depression Scale, frequency of hypoglycemia，and Cost effectiveness) The clinical data will be statistically analyzed.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.
