Pilotstudie zur Verbesserung der Telemedizin bei T2D

Specialty care for type 2 diabetes delivered via telemedicine by an endocrinologist, with additional multidisciplinary support from the diabetes care team.

Telemedicine-based endocrinology specialty care for type 2 diabetes with multidisciplinary diabetes care team support including pre-visit preparation, in-visit support and self-management education, and post-visit follow-up.

Specialty care for type 2 diabetes delivered via telemedicine by an endocrinologist following usual clinical care protocols.

Routine telemedicine-based endocrinology specialty care for type 2 diabetes, generally consisting of synchronous virtual visit with an endocrinologist and additional support including self-management education on an individualized basis.

Percent of eligible patients approached who are enrolled

Percent of enrolled patients who do not complete study, defined as not completing at least 2 study visits and associated surveys

Number of patients recruited per month

Percent of patients approached who are eligible

Percent of patients reporting satisfied or very satisfied on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree" with the statement "Overall, I am satisfied with the quality of service being provided via telemedicine" with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction

Total score of 8-item measure of global satisfaction with diabetes treatment regimen. The static version will be used at baseline. Items 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 are summed to produce a Treatment Satisfaction score (range:0 to 36). The higher the score, the greater the satisfaction with treatment. 'Perceived frequency of hyperglycaemia' (item 2) & 'Perceived frequency of hypoglycaemia' (item 3): Both rated: 6 ('most of the time') to 0 ('none of the time'). Here, lower scores indicate blood glucose levels closer to the ideal. Higher scores indicate problems.

Total score of 8-item measure of global satisfaction with diabetes treatment regimen. The change version will be used at 6 months.Items 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are summed to produce a Treatment Satisfaction (change) score (range: +18 to -18). The higher the score, the greater the improvement in satisfaction with treatment; the lower the score, the greater the deterioration in satisfaction with treatment. A score of 0 represents no change. Two remaining items ('Perceived change in frequency of hyperglycaemia' (item 2) and 'Perceived change in frequency of hypoglycaemia' (item 3)) are treated individually: Both rated: +3 ('much more of the time now') to -3 ('much less of the time now').

Here, negative scores indicate fewer problems with blood glucose levels. Positive scores indicate more problems than before.

Change in total score of 8-item measure of diabetes-related distress over prior month from baseline to 6 months. The Diabetes Distress Core scale is scored by averaging the value for each item, ranked from 1 to 5 scale (score range 1-5), with higher scores indicating more distress.
