Background: Regular visits with healthcare professionals are important for preventing serious complications in patients with diabetes. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to clarify whether there was any suppression of physician visits among patients with diabetes during the spread of the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) in Japan and to assess whether telemedicine contributed to continued visits.Methods: We used the JMDC Claims database, which contains the monthly claims reported from July 2018 to May 2020 and included 4,595 (type 1) and 123,686 (type 2) patients with diabetes. Using a difference-in-differences analysis, we estimated the changes in the monthly numbers of physician visits or telemedicine per 100 patients in April and May 2020 compared with the same months in 2019.Results: For patients with type 1 diabetes, the estimates for total overall physician visits were −2.53 (95% confidence interval [CI], −4.63 to 0.44) in April and −8.80 (95% CI, −10.85 to −6.74) in May; those for telemedicine visits were 0.71 (95% CI, 0.47–0.96) in April and 0.54 (95% CI, 0.32–0.76) in May. For patients with type 2 diabetes, the estimates for overall physician visits were −2.50 (95% CI, −2.95 to −2.04) in April and −3.74 (95% CI, −4.16 to −3.32) in May; those for telemedicine visits were 1.13 (95% CI, 1.07–1.20) in April and 0.73 (95% CI, 0.68–0.78) in May.Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with suppression of physician visits and a slight increase in the utilization of telemedicine among patients with diabetes during April and May 2020.

The use of the Internet-of-Things has improved glycemic control in individuals with diabetes in several small-scale studies with a short follow-up period. This large-scale randomized controlled trial investigates whether a smartphone-based self-management support system prevents the worsening of glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Individuals with type 2 diabetes (age range 20-74 years; n = 2,000) will be recruited, enrolled, and randomly assigned to two groups: the intensive therapy group and the conventional therapy group. Participants in the intensive therapy group will be supervised to use an automated Internet-of-Things system that demonstrates a summary of lifelogging data (e.g., weight, blood pressure, and daily activities) obtained from each measurement device and will receive feedback messages via smartphone applications to encourage them to increase their physical activity and to monitor weight and blood pressure. Participants in the conventional therapy group are allowed to use the same measurement devices as part of the routine diabetes care but without the Internet-of-Things system. The primary endpoint is the between-group difference in HbA1c levels from baseline to 52 weeks. This randomized controlled study will test the hypothesis that an Internet-of-Things-based self-monitoring system could effectively prevent the worsening of diabetes in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The expected results of the study should facilitate the development of novel strategies for both diabetes treatment and social health.
