Arrr, scallywags with type 2 scurvy, who be only seein' telemedicine care, had a worse time with their sugar levels than those who be visitin' landlubber doctors in person! Arr, me hearties, beware!
Arr, ye scurvy dogs, listen up! 'Tis been found that them landlubbers with type 2 diabetes who only received care through telemedicine had a worse time keepin' their blood sugar levels in check compared to those who be seein' their doctors in person. Aye, ye heard it right!Now, ye might be wonderin' what be this telemedicine all about. Well, me hearties, it be a fancy way of sayin' consultin' with yer doctor over the internet. No need to leave yer ship and venture into dangerous lands, ye see. But it seems that this newfangled way of carin' for patients ain't quite as effective as meetin' yer physician face-to-face.
The scallywags who conducted this study, published in the Medscape Medical News, discovered that those who relied solely on telemedicine had a harder time keepin' their blood sugar levels under control. Aye, they be havin' worse glycemic outcomes, which be a fancy way of sayin' their blood sugar levels be all over the place. That be bad news, me hearties!
Now, why might this be the case, ye may be wonderin'. Well, it be thought that meetin' yer doctor in person allows for a more thorough examination. They can see ye with their own two eyes and take a better look at yer symptoms and condition. It be harder to do that through a screen, ye see.
So, me buckos, it be clear that while telemedicine may have its advantages, it may not be the best option for those battle-torn sailors who be fightin' type 2 diabetes. Aye, it be best to make the journey to see yer doctor in person if ye want to keep yer blood sugar levels in check. Don't be a scallywag, take care of yer health!
