Assessment of the proportion of pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes with access to remote monitoring

In the follow-up of type 1 diabetes in children, contact with families besides the appointements with medical et paramedic staff (paediatrician, diabetologist, nurses) is very common but not well coded, start from telehealth hubs (like myDiabby), to less unofficial contact by phone or email. This is even more so widespread since generalization of continuous glucometer (freestyle, dexcom,...), which allowed a quick data transfer to the medical staff.

Some studies had shown that telemedicine in diabetes allowed a better glycemic control and a higher implication in the desease. Indeed, in 1999 already, HbA1c significant improvement was shown when patients was regularly called by a nurse (Thompson et al.). Same finding was demonstrated in Schiaffini and al. clinical trial in 2016. This trial also shown a better adhesion to the follow up into the telemedicine group. Despite all of this studies, in France, remote monitoring isn't standardised and financed, except the national experimentation ETAPES which promotes and financially supports the deployment of remote monitoring projects around the territory.
