| Description: |
Background Non-adherence to diabetes treatment leads to persistent hyperglycemia, a key driver of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and telemedicine have independently improved glycemic control, HbA1c, and time in range. This study reviews the various components of telemedicine and CGM to gain insight that can contribute to future directions for enhancing DFU interventions. Method a scoping review was conducted in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and Scopus. Results 16 studies were included. Aggregated, three main implication areas, one with subdivisions were identified: 1) Components in a remote treatment package, a) The telemedicine term, b) The specialized healthcare professional, c) Monitoring health data, and d) Supervision and feedback on monitored data, 2) Improved glycemic control with remote treatment, and 3) Future directions for DFU interventions. Conclusion Selected components of telemedicine and CGM may be utilized in future DFU interventions but needs to be tested in a future feasibility study. |
