Limitations and pitfalls of outpatient and distance care of children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus under the epidemiological restrictions during the first and second wave of COVID-19
2021
Abstract
The anti-epidemic measures adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly moved the boundaries of outpatient and distance care of all patients, including children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus. A set of three annotated case reports demonstrates the limitations and pitfalls of medical care provided in such circumstances as opposed to the hospitalization upon diagnosis and frequent outpatient contact during times without epi- demiological restrictions.
