Statistical models were adjusted, among others, for technology use. Results: Sixty-five centers provided telemedicine during COVID-19. Among those centers naive to telemedicine before the pandemic (n = 22), four continued only face-to-face visits. Centers that transitioned partially to telemedicine (n = 32) showed a steady increase in HbA1c between 2018 and 2021 (p < 0.001). Those that transitioned mainly to telemedicine (n = 33 %) improved HbA1c in 2021 compared to 2018 (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Changes to models of care delivery driven by the pandemic showed significant associations with HbA1c shortly after the pandemic outbreak and 2 years of follow-up. The association appeared independent of the concomitant increase in technology use among youth with type 1 diabetes.]]> Wed 17 Apr 2024 15:23:53 AEST ]]> “They were all together … discussing the best options for me”: Integrating specialist diabetes care with primary care in Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46418 Tue 22 Nov 2022 13:53:50 AEDT ]]>
