HYPOGLYCEMIA, EVENTS
After enrollment in the baseline visit, participants were randomized 1:1 in the following: a) Control group: participants were submitted to standard in-person visits in the outpatient clinic at months 3 and 6 after randomization; b) TH group: participants were submitted to teleconsultation at months 1, 2, 3 and 4 after randomization. Most of the teleconsultations were made by phone-call. Participants in both groups had the possibility of teleconsulting when necessary through the SocialDiabetes® App.Teleconsultations in months 1, 2 and 4 included the recording of the number and level of hypoglycemia events and glycemic data, if available. At the month 3 visit, we also registered laboratory data in both the control and experimental groups. At the month 6 in-person visit, we added all these records plus anthropometric parameters and the EsDQoL quality of life questionnaire. At the closing visit, participants also completed a nonstandardized satisfaction questionnaire.A visiting time of 30 minutes was assigned to all in-person visits, whereas it was 10 minutes in teleconsultations. All extra visits (in-person and/or telematics) performed for participant needs or medical criteria during the follow-up period were registered.
