Patient-Tailored Decision Support System Improves Short- and Long-Term Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and specialist shortage has caused a healthcare gap that can be bridged by a decision support system (DSS). We investigated whether a diabetes DSS can improve long- and/or short-term glycemic control.

Methods

This is a retrospective observational cohort study of the Diabetiva program, which offered a patient-tailored DSS using Karlsburger Diabetes-Management System (KADIS) once a year. Glycemic control was analyzed at baseline and after 12 months in 452 individuals with T2D. Time in range (TIR; glucose 3.9-10 mmol/L) and Q-Score, a composite metric developed for analysis of continuous glucose profiles, were short-term and HbA1c long-term measures of glycemic control. Glucose variability (GV) was also meas
