Covid 19 has accelerated the use of digital technology for healthcare in Australia and Worldwide. This has created benefits and opportunities for changing the way we provide access, management and care for our patients, including telehealth, remote monitoring of glucose and provision of education. This has also created challenges with technology, patient engagement, resources and confusing nutritional messages in the media and social media. Common themes of over-restriction and overconsumption of food groups and carbohydrate are observed. What lessons have we learnt, and how can we best use technology for both the patient and clinician?
