About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Self Management Using Application for Chronic Disease Care in Real siTuation (SMART) - DM

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of smartphone application for management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).

Type 2 DM is an almost incurable chronic disease and continuous management is important for long-term prognosis. However, patient's compliance to conventional medical intervention is generally unsatisfactory and many patients feel difficult to access to the detail medical advice for type 2 DM.

Thus, the investigators developed a smartphone application for giving programed medical intervention to patients according to patients data; blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, body weight, calorie intake,exercise amount, etc.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. fasting serum glucose and HbA1c

    we will check the fasting serum glucose and HbA1C at the day of enrollment (day0)and those at 3months after enrollment (day 90)

    Measured: 3months after enrollemnt (day 0-day 90)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. body weight and BMI

    we will check body weight and BMI at the day of enrollment (day0)and those at 3months after enrollment (day 90)

    Measured: 3months after enrollemnt (day 0-day 90)

  2. Lipid profile

    we will check the lipid profile (total cholesterol, Triglyceride, LDL/HDL cholesterol)at the day of enrollment (day0)and those at 3months after enrollment (day 90)

    Measured: 3months after enrollment (day 0-90)

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

fasting serum glucose and HbA1c (time frame: 3months after enrollemnt (day 0-day 90)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Nov 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 2 Nov 2026.
