| Research Abstract |
We performed a randomized controlled study to evaluate the usefulness of telemonitoring system for diabetic patients using a mobile phone. The patients sent data of their body weight, amount of exercise, and blood pressure etc and received the guidance of nutrition and exercise. Body weight, systolic pressure, fasting plasma glucose level, and HbA1c were decreased significantly. In 8 cases, the amount of drugs could be reduced. The present study demonstrated the usefulness of telemonitoring system for diabetic patients.
