随着糖尿病患病率的上升，加上全球卫生保健专业人员的日益短缺，有必要开发新的糖尿病护理提供方法，以扩大获得保健的机会，减轻糖尿病患者的负担，提高效率，并减少卫生系统和支付方不可持续的财务责任。在数字/虚拟糖尿病诊所内使用数字糖尿病技术和远程保健协议有可能解决这些挑战。然而，为了向前推进，必须解决几个问题。2020年2月，糖尿病先进技术与治疗年会的组织者召集了一个由HCP、研究人员、患者倡导者和行业代表组成的国际小组，审查数字糖尿病技术的现状，描述当前技术的缺陷，并确定需要考虑的问题。自那次会议以来，在全球冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间，使用远程医疗和数字糖尿病技术的重要性得到了证明。这篇文章总结了小组讨论的机会、障碍和必要条件，以促进使用这些技术作为糖尿病管理的护理标准。
The increasing prevalence of diabetes, combined with a growing global shortage of health care professionals (HCP), necessitates the need to develop new approaches to diabetes care delivery to expand access to care, lessen the burden on people with diabetes, improve efficiencies, and reduce the unsustainable financial liability on health systems and payers. Use of digital diabetes technologies and telehealth protocols within a digital/virtual diabetes clinic has the potential to address these challenges. However, several issues must be resolved to move forward. In February 2020, organizers of the Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes Annual Conference convened an international panel of HCP, researchers, patient advocates, and industry representatives to review the status of digital diabetes technologies, characterize deficits in current technologies, and identify issues for consideration. Since that meeting, the importance of using telehealth and digital diabetes technologies has been demonstrated amid the global coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. This article summarizes the panel's discussion of the opportunities, obstacles, and requisites for advancing the use of these technologies as a standard of care for the management of diabetes.
