Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Several studies have evaluated telemedicine for use in Diabetes Mellitus patients with an insulin pump. In all of these studies, the telemedicine group scheduled more contacts with the health care professionals than in the standard care group. To the investigator's knowledge, no one has investigated telemedicine, compared to standard care with the same number of scheduled contacts. The investigators believe telemedicine should increase the level of service and not increase the workload for health care professionals. A telemedical solution can provide patients with a more flexible alternative for visiting their health care provider rather having the burden of extra telemedicine appointments plus regular treatment.
Patients in rural Denmark may have a travelling time of 70 km (1 hour by car or several hours by public transport) to a specialised Diabetes Mellitus specialist centre. This may result in some patients choosing not to start or not being offered insulin pump treatment despite indications that an insulin pump is an optimal treatment choice. The challenge of distance also poses problems for patients in relation to technical problems or medical issues with the insulin pump. Telemedicine should be a solution for both patients and their Health Care Providers.
In this randomised controlled study, the effects of conducting clinical visits remotely, for patients living with insulin pumps will be investigated. Participants will be allocated to either Intervention (Standard care provide by video consultations) or standard care.
