Adherence
Telecare interventions for type 2 diabetes, involving self-monitored transmission of data and feedback, significantly improve glycemic control (HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, post-prandial glucose) compared to routine care.
If you have type 2 diabetes, using a telecare system that allows you to send your blood sugar readings to your healthcare provider or an automated system can help you manage your condition better than standard care alone. Look for systems that are easy to use and provide clear feedback.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Compared to routine care, telecare monitoring resulted in significant improvements in glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. A more significant reduction in HbA1c was correlated with Asian populations, small sample size, and patients with a starting measurement above 8%.
