“…4 Despite recommendations to incorporate problem solving as part of routine diabetes education, 3 there are gaps in services to teach and support problem solving skills. 6 Various technologies are relevant in diabetes problem solving because they provide readily available resources that can help facilitate obtaining knowledge, communicating with adults, connecting with similar others, and/or accessing feedback on blood glucose data. These efforts may facilitate adherence to the adolescent's regimen using the technologies and communication channels with which adolescents are now familiar and find acceptable.…”

Results indicate a counterintuitive relationship between higher use of technologies for problem solving and higher A1C. Adolescents with poorer glycemic control may use technology in a reactive, as opposed to preventive, manner. Better understanding of the nature of technology use for self-management over time is needed to guide the development of technology-mediated problem solving tools for youth with type 1 diabetes.

“…The utility of a color record tool in association with diabetes education to improve HbA1c has been demonstrated recently by Nishimura et al, 25 who hypothesized that color used in SMBG is helpful for patients to recognize and act on their glucose levels and demonstrated a lowering of HbA1c after 24 weeks in subjects utilizing a simple color record tool to highlight individual low or high results. A recent review by Kumah-Crystal and Mulvaney 26 indicated a need to improve and expand support for people with diabetes in their daily use of glucose values to maintain and improve glycemic control. Subject responses in our current study support the utility of a meter-based CRI to facilitate improved awareness of glucose ranges and provide easier interpretation of readings and the potential to make it easier to report in or out of range results to their HCP.…”

Diabetes care groups have issued consensus recommendations on the targets for blood glucose results.1,2 The joint ADA/EASD guidelines emphasize the need to personalize glucose targets to meet individual circumstances and treatment goals. 3 The advent of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) was heralded as a significant step to enable people with diabetes to achieve improvements in glycemic control. However, there are several barriers that limit the effective use of SMBG, including lack of patient understanding about when to perform testing, how to identify and interpret glucose results, and how to respond to abnormal glucose values. 4 A recent study in 207 non-insulin-using patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) investigated perceptions of high blood glucose results and demonstrated patients were tolerant of higher blood glucose levels than are clinically advisable, perhaps because they do not recognize or interpret such values as being high. The authors concluded that along with performing SMBG, patients need education on appropriate blood glucose target levels and that this information needs to be reinforced over time. 5 In another recent survey of 886 US patients with T2DM, 56% did not respond regularly to out-of-range glucose readings with any self-care adjustments.6 Furthermore, 2 UK-based qualitative studies Aims: The ability of patients to achieve glycemic control depends in part on their ability to interpret and act on blood glucose (BG) results. This clinical study was conducted to determine if a simple on-meter color range indicator (CRI) could improve the ability of patients to categorize BG values into low, in-range, and high glycemic ranges. Methods:The clinical study was conducted in 59 subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Subjects classified 50 general, 15 before-and 15 after-meal BG values as low, in-range, or high based on their current knowledge. Subjects then interactively experienced the on-meter CRI, which showed whether alternate BG values were low, in-range, or high. After CRI interaction, subjects repeated the original scoring assessment followed by a survey exploring their awareness of glucose ranges. Results:Following interaction with the CRI, subjects improved their ability to categorize general, before-meal and aftermeal BG results by 23.4% ± 3.0% (SEM), 14.2% ± 2.4%, and 16.1% ± 2.9%, respectively (all P < .001), into low, in-range, and high glycemic ranges. Improvement was not accompanied by an increase in time spent categorizing results. There was no correlation between subject HbA1c, test frequency, or duration of diabetes and ability to correctly classify results. Subjects agreed the CRI feature helped them easily interpret glucose values and improved their awareness of glucose ranges. Conclusion:A short interactive session with a meter including a CRI feature improved the ability of T2DM subjects to interpret and categorize BG values into recommended ranges.

“…In general, surveys show that in most studies, internet intervention has been mainly used to transfer blood glucose data and other patient information to physicians and to use feedback on their health status [81,82]. Web-based learning is a tool for continuing education to increase the number and skills of health workers and patients.…”

Introduction: In the field of health, information and communication technology plays an important role, the world is experiencing the era of communication, the field of health is not asymmetrical. According to the study, Iran is one of the countries that is at high risk of diabetes, and continues to increase in Iran and in most countries. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on the effectiveness of Information and Communication Technology (ICTs) in the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.Material and Methods: This study was conducted as a review and through a search of valid information databases such as PubMed, Science direct, and Google Scholar. After the final extraction from the 106 papers in the cellular field 37% and 36% in telemedicine and 27% in the Internet topic from 2010 to 2018, were finalized.Results: The findings of the study showed that the recent developments in information technology combined with services for cost optimization have increased and the current use of information technology (IT) offers unique opportunities for patients with diabetes. Internet, mobile phone and telemedicine services can facilitate and improve communication between patients and healthcare professionals and play an important role in managing diabetes. The growing challenge is the proper management of diabetes to play an important role by employing innovative approaches aimed at improving patient outcomes and reducing the incidence of adverse healthcare systems.Conclusion: This study is an overview of information and communication technology research in diabetes management and can help researchers measure the effectiveness of information and communication technology in diabetes self-care and therapeutic systems in different areas and motivate self-management. Cost reduction, technology acceptance and satisfaction.
