Abstract

Background: Diabetes is a chronic medical condition with severe complications, mainly caused by unhealthy lifestyles in genetically susceptible individuals. There has been a growing interest in the role of mobile health technologies in achieving better self-efficacy in managing diabetes. This study attempts to assess the impact of a web-based model on improving the diabetes status among Type 2 diabetic patients attending a tertiary care hospital in southern India.

Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted among patients with type 2 diabetes attending the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Mysuru, southern India, for 6 months. Diabetes Care (https://www.diabetes-care.co.in/), which is an online website that can be used as a risk prediction tool for uncontrolled diabetes and recommends lifestyle changes, was used by 456 diabetes patients for 6 months. We assessed the change in glycosylated haemoglobin levels at the beginning and after 6 months of using the software.

Results: The mean HbA1c value at the start of the study was 8.039% ± 1.981. The HbA1c value assessed after 6 months post-intervention showed an improvement of 7.794% ± 1.853 with a mean difference of 0.245. A paired T-test showed a statistically significant association with a P value of 0.049.

Conclusions: Evidence from this study suggests that intervention using a web-based model focusing on risk prediction and educational intervention showed an improvement in the diabetic status of the patients with T2DM.

糖尿病护理：改善 2 型糖尿病患者健康状况的在线网络工具：纵向研究。

背景：糖尿病是一种具有严重并发症的慢性疾病，主要是由遗传易感人群的不健康生活方式引起的。人们越来越关注移动医疗技术在提高糖尿病自我管理能力方面的作用。本研究试图评估一种基于网络的模式对改善印度南部一家三级医院 2 型糖尿病患者糖尿病状况的影响：在印度南部迈苏鲁一家三级医院门诊部就诊的 2 型糖尿病患者中开展了一项为期 6 个月的纵向研究。456 名糖尿病患者在 6 个月的时间里使用了 Diabetes Care (https://www.diabetes-care.co.in/)，这是一个在线网站，可用作未控制糖尿病的风险预测工具，并建议改变生活方式。我们评估了使用该软件之初和 6 个月后糖化血红蛋白水平的变化：研究开始时的平均 HbA1c 值为 8.039% ± 1.981。干预 6 个月后的 HbA1c 值为 7.794% ± 1.853，平均差异为 0.245。配对 T 检验显示，两者之间存在显著的统计学关联，P 值为 0.049：本研究的证据表明，使用以风险预测和教育干预为重点的网络模型进行干预后，T2DM 患者的糖尿病状况有所改善。
