This pilot study will compare an intervention to deliver high-quality diabetes care through telemedicine for adults with type 2 diabetes who have additional chronic health conditions and use insulin with usual telemedicine care. The investigators will assess feasibility, patient satisfaction, and preliminary clinical outcomes. Fifty adults will be recruited from primary care practices. Once patients are confirmed eligible, they will be consented and enrolled. Patients will be randomized to the intervention arm or usual telemedicine care, stratified by age (above or below 65 years) and rurality, as these factors are associated with technological literacy and broadband access, which may impact telemedicine use and outcomes. Both groups will complete baseline survey measures and baseline clinical data will be collected via chart review. As this is a pragmatic pilot trial, intervention components will be delivered by usual clinical providers and staff for the intervention group. The telemedicine care intervention will include 2-3 synchronous visits with endocrinology providers over 6 months plus additional visits with multidisciplinary providers on an individualized basis. Telemedicine care will proceed as usual for the control group. The investigators will focus pilot trial outcomes on standard metrics to assess feasibility for a future large trial. The investigators will also measure preliminary clinical outcomes.
