Abstract

The objective of this scoping review was to identify peer-reviewed medical literature on the use of telemedicine in the pediatric patient population with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in the United States, to assess its impact on management processes and clinical outcomes of care, and to identify clinical research gaps.

A structured scoping review protocol using the PRISMA flow chart was utilized to conduct this research. Results suggest that telemedicine has a positive impact on the management of pediatric T1-DM, enhances continuity of care, and provides a more holistic approach to care. Additionally, resources beyond the office visit can be applied to management of T1-DM via certain telehealth modalities. These include support groups, screenings, and management of diet and health through mobile software applications. Telehealth creates support groups, gives access to seminars, and offers online educational health fairs to reduce risk factors and facilitate management.
