Virtual Group Visits Show Potential for Managing Diabetes in C3EN VIDA Study

Yet under routine care, many patients with diabetes see their doctors a few times a year for just minutes. Now a team led by C3EN’s Arshiya Baig is testing how structured virtual diabetes group education visits can improve the success of patients as they learn to manage their disease.
