Official title: Individualized Management Based on Mobile Phone Platform in Diabetic Patients

The purpose of this study was to explore a model suitable for the individualized diabetic management based on the mobile application coaching and demonstrate its effect among the diabetic mellitus population.

Read the detailed description

The enrolled patients will be randomly divided into three groups: group of online self management, group of online mutual management and the control group. The estimated sample size was 78 patients for each group. All the patients attend two follow-up visits at the hospital, after 3 and 6 months. The data will be collected by a full-time recorder and analyzed using specific statistical software.
