Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of good glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to avoid complications; however, it also limited the treatment and follow-up of these patients. In this context the use of telehealth was promoted. Objective: determine the effectiveness of telehealth in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus at the Lambayeque Regional Hospital during the year 2021. Materials and methods: retrospective cohort study, conducted based on medical records of patients diagnosed with DM2 attended by teleconsultation from January to March 2021 who had previously been attended in person and had glycemic controls. Results: Patients with DM2 had a mean age of 60.73 ± 8.93 years, with a predominance of women (70.7%), 28.3% had more than 10 years of evolution, and 56.6% were treated with oral antiglycemics. The most frequent complication was neuropathy (46.5%) and comorbidity CKD (18.2%). Only 2-3% of the patients presented symptoms of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Regarding fasting glycemia obtained in person and by telehealth, there was no significant difference (p = 0.8). The glycosylated hemoglobin found by telehealth was 8.53 ± 2.65 and in the face-to-face follow-up it was 8.17 ± 2.34, the difference between both modalities being significant. (p = 0.021) Conclusion: The glycemic control obtained by telehealth was lower than that obtained in person. (p=0.021)
