Discussion Compared to usual care , the use of telemedicine was found to improve HbA1c and reduce the risk of moderate hypoglycaemia  in diabetic patients , but without significant difference in BMI
Introduction Hypoglycaemia is a clinical syndrome from various causes , which happens when the blood glucose concentration is too low .
Many studies show that telemedicine intervention can improve glycemic control and has a positive impact on the management of diabetic patients .
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of telemedicine intervention on hypoglycemic event occurrences and results on hemoglobin A1c ( HbA1c ) and body mass index ( BMI ) .
Optimizing Insulin Glargine Plus One Injection of Insulin Glulisine in Type 2 Diabetes in the ELEONOR Study
OBJECTIVE To determine the functional health status and treatment satisfaction in patients with type 2 diabetes from the Evaluation of Lantus Effect ON Optimization of use of single dose Rapid insulin ( ELEONOR ) study that investigated whether a telecare program helps optimization of basal insulin glargine with one bolus injection of insulin glulisine . RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Functional health status and treatment satisfaction were investigated using the 36-Item Short-Form ( SF-36 ) Health Survey , the World Health Organization Well-Being Question naire ( WBQ ) , and the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Question naire . RESULTS Of 291 r and omized patients , 238 completed the study ( telecare : 114 ; self-monitoring blood glucose : 124 ) . Significant improvements were detected in most SF-36 domains , in WBQ depression and anxiety scores , and in treatment satisfaction , without differences between study groups . CONCLUSIONS An insulin regimen that substantially improves metabolic control , while minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia , can positively affect physical and psychologic well-being and treatment satisfaction irrespective of the educational support system used
