PG - 110727 LID - S0168-8227(23)00490-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.diabres.2023.110727 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a rising global health concern that requires long-term treatment and close monitoring. Telemonitoring has been shown to be a promising tool to facilitate patient-physician interaction and improve glycaemic control. METHOD: Randomised controlled trials (RCT) of telemonitoring in T2DM published between 1990 and 2021 were searched through multiple electronic databases. The primary outcome variables included HbA1c and fasting blood glucose (FBG), and BMI was a secondary outcome variable. RESULTS: Thirty RCT with a total of 4,678 participants were included in this study. Twenty-six studies reported on HbA1c, which was shown to be significantly lower in participants on telemonitoring when compared to conventional care. Ten studies investigated FBG which collectively showed no statistically significant difference. Subgroup analysis demonstrated the effect of telemonitoring on glycaemic control is influenced by a range of factors concerning system practicality, user engagement, patient characteristics and disease education. CONCLUSION: Telemonitoring exhibited a great potential to improve T2DM management. Several technical features and patient factors may influence the effectiveness of telemonitoring. Further studies are needed to verify the findings and address limitations before its implementation into routine practice. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
