Usual care included medical visits every 3 months and communication between school nurse and diabetes team as needed by phone. The intervention group received usual care plus a telemedicine unit in the school nurse office to videoconference between the school nurse, child, and diabetes team every month.

Analyses used multilevel modeling.Results A1c values increased from baseline to 6 months for students in the usual care group and decreased in the telemedicine cohort (P
