The patients had type 1 and type 2 diabetes in 28% and 64% of the cases, respectively; 68% had at least one diabetes complication. Diabetic neuropathy was the most prevalent (42%) complication. Physical examination was not performed by the specialists in 34% of cases. General foot inspection, the most frequent examination, was performed in 54% of the consultations. After \u201cgeneral advice,\u201d ordering laboratory tests was the most frequent recommendation (80%), followed by adjustment of an insulin regimen (52%). In 86% of consultations, the specialists believed that it would have been possible to provide that consultation remotely via videoconferencing to a patient with the general practitioner present. In their opinion, communicating with the patients through e-mail was the least possible alternative means of providing the consultations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Endocrinologists with little telemedicine experience believe that a considerable proportion of outpatient specialty consultations for people with diabetes can be provided remotely via videoconferencing.
