Studies in Type-2 Diabetes
3-Month randomized-controlled clinical trial
In a prospective, randomized, controlled study, Quinn et al. (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics, 2008) found that individuals whose A1C levels were greater than or equal to 7.5% within most recent three months and received BlueStar software experienced an average decrease in A1C of 2.03%. Patients in the control group obtained an average A1C reduction of 0.68% (P < 0.02, one-tailed). Of the intervention patients, 84% had medications titrated or changed by their HCP compared to controls (23%, P=0.002).
READ ABSTRACT12-Month randomized-controlled clinical trial
In a prospective, randomized, controlled study, Quinn et al. (Diabetes Care, 2011) found that, individuals with type 2 diabetes whose A1C levels were poorly controlled (>9.0%) or abnormal (7.5-8.9%) at the time of enrollment, and who were randomized to use a mobile phone app to help them manage their diabetes in addition to usual care, improved A1C by an average 1.9%, compared with 0.7% improvement in persons randomized to usual care alone, a difference of 1.2% (P < 0.001) over 12 months.
