Abstract

Purpose of review: Telehealth initiatives are becoming ubiquitous in clinical practice and can be a useful tool in the management of diabetes in pregnancy. The purpose of this review is to summarize new techniques in telemedicine delivery and offer details on how to leverage telehealth in delivering care to pregnant women with diabetes.

Recent findings: Using mobile phone technology to collect glucose values in women with gestational diabetes has been found to be beneficial by increasing the amount of glucose data available for interpretation. Remote patient monitoring in non-pregnant people with type 2 diabetes has shown a modest improvement in glucose control. In pregnant women with diabetes, the use of remote patient monitoring does not appear to improve outcomes but can decrease in-office visits and lower healthcare costs. However, telehealth may not be the only solution to helping patients with diabetes in pregnancy who have difficulty engaging in their care. Telehealth affords improvements in convenience, efficiency, and frequency of communication with healthcare professionals, and the amount of data available to patients and providers alike, yielding the potential for better outcomes when telehealth modalities are adopted.

远程保健对妊娠糖尿病的管理。

审查目的:远程保健倡议在临床实践中变得无处不在，可以成为管理妊娠糖尿病的有用工具。本综述的目的是总结远程医疗提供的新技术，并提供如何利用远程医疗为糖尿病孕妇提供护理的细节。最近的发现:使用手机技术收集妊娠期糖尿病妇女的血糖值已被发现是有益的，因为它增加了可用于解释的葡萄糖数据量。对未怀孕的2型糖尿病患者的远程监测显示血糖控制有适度改善。在患有糖尿病的孕妇中，使用远程患者监测似乎不会改善结果，但可以减少办公室就诊次数并降低医疗保健费用。然而，远程医疗可能不是帮助妊娠期糖尿病患者的唯一解决方案，这些患者很难参与他们的护理。远程医疗提高了与医疗保健专业人员沟通的便利性、效率和频率，并改善了患者和提供者可获得的数据量，采用远程医疗模式可能会产生更好的结果。

期刊介绍： The goal of this journal is to publish cutting-edge reviews on subjects pertinent to all aspects of diabetes epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management. We aim to provide incisive, insightful, and balanced contributions from leading experts in each relevant domain that will be of immediate interest to a wide readership of clinicians, basic scientists, and translational investigators. We accomplish this aim by appointing major authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the discipline. Section Editors select topics to be reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published over the past year on their topics, in a crisp and readable format. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
