Diabetes 101 - Lesson 5: How Virtual Care is Revolutionizing Diabetes Management

Writer: James NorthcuttJames Northcutt

Managing diabetes often means juggling doctor visits, medication schedules, and lifestyle changes. Virtual care offers a modern solution, combining convenience with cutting-edge technology, providing world-class care from the comfort of your home.


What is Virtual Care?

Virtual care connects patients with healthcare professionals through technology (video calls, health tracking, remote monitoring, etc.). See how eddii provides virtual care below:

  1. Video calls with a provider: with eddii-Care 🩺 in your eddii app, you can book an appointment with your doctor, meet with them over a video call, refill your prescriptions, and access your clinical notes.

  2. App-based health tracking: the eddii app seamlessly connects with your Dexcom CGM to track your glucose levels while also giving your provider access to your CGM data during visits. eddii also allows you to easily track the food you eat, including carbs, how much you exercise, how you’re feeling, and what medication you’ve taken to give you a full picture of your health in one fun and convenient place.

  3. Remote monitoring: While eddii does not yet provide remote patient monitoring, it’s in the works! And in your eddii-Care patient portal, you can already message your provider with any questions regarding your health and care.
