mHealth interventions for disadvantaged and vulnerable people with type 2 diabetes.
The authors evaluate the impact of diabetes self-management interventions delivered via mobile device and/or Internet on glycemic control of disadvantaged/vulnerable adults with type 2 diabetes. They found evidence suggesting that digital interventions can improve diabetes control, healthcare utilization, and healthcare costs. More research to substantiate these early findings is recommended; the authors suggest that many issues remain in order to optimize the impact of digital interventions on the health outcomes of disadvantaged/vulnerable persons with diabetes.

How do mobile phone diabetes programs drive behavior change? Evidence from a mixed methods observational cohort study.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the behavioral effects of a theory-driven, mobile phone–based intervention that combines automated text messaging and remote nursing, using an automated, interactive text messaging system. It found that the intervention was associated with improvements in 5 of 6 domains of self-care (medication taking, glucose monitoring, foot care, exercise, and healthy eating).

Mobile phone diabetes project led to improved glycemic control and net savings for Chicago plan participants.
Mobile phones are a promising tool to use in engaging patients in behavior change and facilitating self-care between visits. The researchers examined the impact of a six-month mobile health (mHealth) demonstration project among adults with diabetes. In addition to pre-post improvements in glycemic control and patients’ satisfaction with overall care, they observed a net cost savings of 8.8 percent.
