| Popis: | Amidst the unprecedented global pandemic of COVID-19, attending to the needs of adolescents with diabetes mellitus became more challenging. They faced the uncertainty of access to care and the attendant problems of a lockdown. We present the nurse-led telehealth initiative for adolescents with diabetes mellitus, leveraging on existing infrastructure and resources with the aim of addressing the anticipated challenges that many of the adolescents might face. The initiative was well received among those who participated, and there were no significant adverse effects noted. |
