What are the benefits of smartphones for diabetics?
Another significant benefit of smartphones relates to the convenient and accurate transfer of diabetes data.
Are diabetes apps worth the risk?
Unfortunately, despite their many benefits, diabetes apps are not without their downsides. First, mobile apps are constantly evolving, with new software updates being rolled out on a regular basis. Although new versions can introduce improved functionality, they can also introduce bugs and remove features without any advance warning.
How do you know if you have diabetes?
Diabetes has been diagnosed for decades with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) assessment or, much less frequently, with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Hyperglycemia as the biochemical hallmark of diabetes is unquestionable. However, fasting and 2-h OGTT gauge just a moment of a single day.
Do diabetes apps improve glycemic control and reduce complications?
From logging tools to hardware companions, the scope and functionality of diabetes apps continue to expand at a breakneck pace. Despite the potential benefit of these apps, their ability to improve glycemic control and reduce complications remains unproven.
