The number of cases of infection to coronavirus disease (COVID)-19, human casualties and economic losses are increasing, and one of the high-risk groups in which the risk of infection and death is high is diabetics. People with diabetes experience severe symptoms and complications if they are infected by COVID-19. One way to control and prevent the spread of the coronavirus is to stay home, avoid daily physical interactions, and quarantine at home. Due to the high prevalence of diabetes and the importance of long-term follow-up, Tele education in diabetic patients is one of the methods that provide care using communication means. As the quality of information received by diabetic patients improves, their awareness of treatment goals and, consequently, their acceptance of treatment methods will increase, which in turn will lead to greater effectiveness and better treatment outcomes. Finally, Tele education reduces contact between diabetics and physicians, therapists, and health care providers, thereby reducing the risk of disease.
