Do you have diabetes and need to visit your doctor frequently to monitor your blood glucose levels and overall health, or to obtain prescriptions for medication or insulin? Whether it is hot during summer, rainy during autumn, or icy during winter, travelling to your diabetologist can become a real ordeal. Do not forget that telemedicine and online medical services can save you from all these inconveniences.
Telemedicine and online medical care are playing an increasingly significant role in the management of diabetes mellitus by providing rapid access to medical advice, blood glucose monitoring, and treatment adjustments without the need to travel to a medic. This can make a significant difference to people living with diabetes, for whom treatment and monitoring are required throughout their lives.
At Digital Clinics, diabetes monitoring through online consultations is simple. You can arrange remote appointments to have your blood glucose levels assessed, to adjust your treatment and to interpret laboratory test results, all from the comfort of your own home, with the support of a diabetologist.
What do you need to do? Log in to the Digital Clinics platform and follow these three steps:
1. Create a patient account. Here is how:
a. Go to the account creation section and log in.
b. Enter your first
name, surname, email address, and a secure password.
c. Open your personal email account and confirm the activation of your account.
2. Book a consultation in the “Diabetes & Nutrition” speciality section.

3. Prepare for your video consultation!

b. Log in to your patient account to upload your laboratory test results, blood
glucose log, medical history, and other relevant documents. Your doctor will be
able to review these before or during the consultation.
c. Twenty-four hours before your consultation, you will receive a link by email
and a text message that will allow you to join the consultation directly.
d. You can access the “appointment room” at any time through your patient account
to manage your uploaded medical documents or to start your consultation at the
scheduled time.
You will therefore be able to have your consultation from the comfort of your own home, without traffic congestion, without having to endure extreme heat or cold, and without long waiting times in clinic corridors. After the consultation, your doctor will provide you with the digital prescription you need, recommend any laboratory tests that should be carried out subsequently and where appropriate, provide you with an updated diet and exercise plan. The whole process is simple, quick, and available from the comfort of your own home.
