Telemonitoring and Team-Based Management of Glycemic Control on People with Type 2 Diabetes: a Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Connected devices that allow people with diabetes to monitor their blood glucose levels remotely with data visualization have been shown to improve self-care behavior in diabetes management. However, their effectiveness and usability for a low-middle-income, racially diverse population are unknown.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the effects of remote telemonitoring with team-based management on people with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes.

Design

This was a pragmatic 52-week cluster-randomized controlled study among 11 primary care government practices in Malaysia.

Participants

People with type 2 diabetes aged 18 and above, who had hemoglobin A1c ≥ 7.5% but less than 11.0% within the past 3 months and resided in the state of Selangor.
