Virtual Group Visits Show Potential for Managing Diabetes in C3EN VIDA Study
More than medications alone, managing diabetes means mastering habits that affect day-to-day living: how to eat, how often to exercise, and how to monitor blood sugar and other markers of health. 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.
