Summary

The purpose of the study is to look at the effect of replacing the physician only visit by a transmission of information on the participant's current diabetes management and blood glucose monitoring results followed by a phone contact by the diabetes nurse educator. The study will also measure the effect on diabetes control (HbA1c), satisfaction with care, resource utilisation, and costs to the health care system and to the participant.

We hypothesize that replacement of the physician-only visit by a virtual visit will not result in worsening of the medical outcomes and that it will result in a reduction in medical resources utilization and costs for families while increasing the satisfaction with care.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Participants will alternate between a multidisciplinary visit (MD, RN and RD) and a phone contact with the diabetes nurse educator (the phone contact will replace the physician-only visit).
