Abstract

Background: A potential intervention involving a smartphone application can assist individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus in effectively managing their condition through self-care. The SMDia software supports care providers in promoting self-care for patients with type 2 diabetes. Purposes of the research: Evaluating the effectiveness of self-care intervention using SMDia software in controlling blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes in Thai Nguyen National Hospital. Methods: A 6-month controlled intervention study was conducted from March 2021. Thise study included 120 participants with type 2 diabetes in the intervention and control groups, self-care intervention using SMDia software in controlling blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes. This assessment will be conducted using fasting blood glucose indices and HbA1c levels, comparing the values before and after the intervention. Results: After 24 weeks of intervention, the rate of blood glucose control achieving the target increased by 15.8%, HbA1c reaching the target increased by 31.7%. Moderate effect coefficient on blood glucose index and HbA1c (Cohen d = 0.62; 95% CI = 0.25 - 0.9); (Cohen d = 0.71; 95% CI = 0.33 - 1.07). Intervention effectiveness reached 8.2% for blood glucose control and 41.8% for HbA1c control. Conclusion: Self-care intervention using SMDia significantly improved blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
