Insulin Self-Management in Patients with Diabetes and Web-Based Mobile Training

Abstract

Diabetes is one of the most significant health problems today. Insulin is the cornerstone of diabetes treatment as a life-saving treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes and a therapeutic option for patients with type 2 diabetes. Administering insulin correctly and effectively is of extreme importance for patients with diabetes. Self-management in insulin treatment and the ability of patients to carry out the treatment by themselves are quite important for the success of the treatment. Continuous and effective training should be provided to patients for successful self-management in insulin therapy. Numerous training methods have been used in patients with diabetes from the past to the present, and one of these methods is web-based education. In this review, insulin self-management and web-based diabetes training are discussed.
