Abstract

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease experienced by many older adults and requires regular blood glucose monitoring to avoid complications. Mobile applications for self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMG) are an innovative solution for supporting self-management of T2DM patients, especially among the elderly. This work aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile application for self-monitoring of blood glucose on clinical outcomes, behavioral changes, and user experience in older individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
