Research Abstract |
In the present study, we conducted an intervention study to clarify how effectively videophone system was used in the life style guidance focusing diet for the diabetic patients cared at home. For the period of 3 months, diabetic patients were communicated with a medical professional bi-directionally through the videophone system for 30 minutes once a week. We showed that 3-month bi-directional communication using the videophone system once a week between diabetes patients and medical professional resulted in a significant decrease in the body weight, the BMI, and the average HbA1c level. The bidirectional regular communications using a videophone system for visual effect can be useful and it might be one of the effective measures for the control ofBW and hyperglycemia in the dairy life for a diabetic patient at home.
