How could the Covid-19 pandemic change our practices in the management of diabetes?

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a major health crisis in France for about 1 year, forcing patients and healthcar professionals to change their approach to chronic disease Diabetes, which was quickly considered to be a medical situation at risk of a severe form of SARS-CoV-2 infection has therefore been the subject of very particular attention both in the daily glycemic monitoring and in the different car options (hospitalization, outpatient consultations), leading to a reorganization of care as profound as it is sudden. Ii this context, the reorganization of the diabetology unit and that of the outpatient diabetological consultation have benefited from the development of telemedicine solution currently available (teleconsultation, telemonitoring) in order to maintain good quality diabetes care. This unprecedented situation has opened up many prospects for improving the care of diabetic patients, even in the absence of any major public health crisis.
