Diabetes management in school-based telehealth benefits

There are many benefits to using telehealth for diabetes management in schools, including:

  • Almost all students with diabetes need help managing their diabetes at times. School-based telehealth can help with ongoing diabetes education.
  • Proactive diabetes monitoring involves talking about the patient’s progress with a health care provider. School-based telehealth for patients with diabetes allows patients and providers to monitor a patient’s progress.
  • People with diabetes typically need to see their health care provider regularly. School-based telehealth makes it easier and more convenient for patients to get the care they need, when they need it.
