The Clinical Impact of Flash Glucose Monitoring-a Digital Health App and Smartwatch Technology in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Type 2 diabetes has a growing prevalence and confers significant cost burden to the health care system, raising the urgent need for cost-effective and easily accessible solutions. The management of type 2 diabetes requires significant commitment from the patient, caregivers, and the treating team to optimize clinical outcomes and prevent complications. Technology and its implications for the management of type 2 diabetes is a nascent area of research. The impact of some of the more recent technological innovations in this space, such as continuous glucose monitoring, flash glucose monitoring, web-based applications, as well as smartphone- and smart watch-based interactive apps has received limited attention in the research literature.
