Improved diabetic prognosis following telecommunication and graphical processing of diabetic data.

摘要

The thesis that an integrated telecommunications/reporting system would affect diabetic prognosis was tested. Over fifteen months a double crossover study compared traditional diaries versus graphical display of telecommunicated blood glucose data. Significant drops in glycohemoglobin were observed in both groups during the telecommunications period, while no significant drops were observed in the groups while diaries were employed.
