Management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is labor-intensive, requiring multiple daily blood glucose measurements and insulin injections. Patients are seen quarterly by providers, but evidence suggests more frequent contact is beneficial. Current technology allows secure, remote sharing of diabetes data and video-conferencing between providers and patients in their home settings.
