It must be recognized that, in the lockdown period, in addition to the shortcomings of the telemedicine systems, diabetologists also highlighted the lack of knowledge of the telematic tools available on the market potentially usable immediately. For this reason our scientific societies (AMD-SID-SIE) have taken on the burden to collect from the companies that have responded to our request, the information on their remote medicine systems trying to classify them in a neutral but homogeneous way, in a matrix of technological characteristics able to describe the characteristics of each product. KEY WORDS telemedicine; diabetes mellitus; COVID-19.
