Effect of Mobile Communication With a Cellular Phone With a Glucometer on Glucose Control in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

NCT00412178 | Terminated

• 1 other identifier: CMC
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 80

Brief Summary

Previously we demonstrated the beneficial effects of an Internet-based glucose-monitoring system (IBGMS) in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The "Diabetes Phone", a cellular phone with a glucometer integrated in the battery pack, was launched in Korea in 2003. Here we test the short-term effectiveness of the diabetes phone for glucose control and compare it with that of IBGMS.
