如果你患有糖尿病，远程保健也许是有助于取得最佳疗效的工具。跟你的医生谈谈可利用的远程保健机会。

Diabetes requires lifelong care that is beyond many people’s reach.

Understand why telehealth is getting so much attention and how it can help you manage your diabetes successfully.

糖尿病需要终身护理，这是许多人无法企及的。远程保健又称远程医疗，通过视频聊天、电话、数字信息甚至短信将您与医生连接起来，还包括追踪设备的使用以便您和医生更好地了解您的糖尿病。了解远程医疗为什么受到如此关注及它如何帮助您成功地管理糖尿病。

1.Using telehealth for diabetes increase access to care.

使用远程医疗治疗糖尿病增加了获得护理的机会

A million people are newly diagnosed with diabetes in the United States every year. Many of them go on to develop serious complications, including retinopathy, eye disease that can cause vision loss, high blood pressure (hypertension), heart disease, kidney failure, and toe, foot, and leg amputation.

在美国，每年诊断出糖尿病患者100万人。其中许多人会爆发严重的并发症，包括视网膜病、可导致视力下降的眼病、高血压、心脏病、肾衰竭及脚趾、脚和腿部截肢。

Avoiding complications and treating them effectively requires a highly coordinated effort among specialists and resources, but they’re stretched too thin. Demand for diabetes care far exceeds supply, and people living with diabetes are falling through the cracks. The tools of telehealth solve the challenge by broadening access to care and delivering that care more efficiently, using resources like wireless internet, two-way video conferencing, high-definition cameras, smartphone apps, text messaging, and email.

并发症的避免和有效治疗需要专家及医疗资源的高度协调，但专家及资源都有限。对糖尿病护理的需求远大于供给，因此，糖尿病患者随时都有爆发并发症的危险。通过使用无线网络、双向视频会议、高清摄像机、智能手机应用程序、短信及邮件等资源，远程医疗工具扩大了医疗服务的覆盖面并更高效地提供了医疗服务，从而解决了这一挑战。
