Abstract

Background: The limited physical interaction policy during the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns of DM patients visiting healthcare facilities cause routine visits delays, treatment discrepancies, and ineffective health education. Telehealth can provide DM patients convenience of self-management during pandemics. Objective: This review aims to discover the potential use of telehealth to optimize Self-Management, Education, and Support for DM patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Rapid review has been done by conducting a systematic search on five databases: PubMed, EBSCO-host Academic Science Completed, ScienceDirect, Sage Journals, and Taylor and Francis. The articles have been identified through the following criteria: the year of publication is at most two years old (2019-2021), the research design used is strictly Randomized Control Trial and Quasi Experiment, and the published language must be English. Results: It was found that some telehealth-based interventions, such as remote monitoring of independent blood glucose levels, education through text messaging, telephone, and Technological Surrogate Nursing (TSN), can effectively facilitate self-management of patients with diabetes. The main features mentioned are reminders, automatic data processing systems, education in the form of modules and videos, and call center services for regular follow-ups. Telehealth is an online-based health service that has the potential to optimize the self-management of DM patients.

Abstract

Background: Glycemic control procedures may help reduce the risk of worsening conditions and death in COVID-19 patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Currently, non-invasive blood glucose monitoring technology has been developed to address the challenges of glycemic control in DM patients. Objective: This literature review aims to identify non-invasive technology innovations for blood glucose monitoring applied to COVID-19 patients with DM comorbidities. Method: The method used is a rapid review by searching for articles on EBSCO-host Academic Science Completed, PubMed, Sage Journals, ScienceDirect, and Taylor & Francis. The study reviewed is scoping the innovation of non-invasive blood glucose monitoring technology with research designs of Randomized Control Trial, Quasi Experiment, Cross-Sectional, and Cohort Study in English with full text, and published from 2019–2021. Results: It was found that there were four types of technology and two biomarkers used for non-invasive blood glucose monitoring, namely Skin Autofluorescence, Microperimetry, Raman Spectroscopy, Mid-Infrared Quantum Cascade Laser Technology, and as well as saliva and exhaled Volatile Organic Compound. Recommendation: Further research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of this device, mainly to prevent death in COVID-19 patients with DM comorbid.
