Diabetes Connect: Patients and Providers Use of a Secure Website for Blood Glucose Monitoring in Type-2 Diabetes

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

In brief

Currently, diabetic patients who receive their care at the diabetes clinic self monitor their blood glucose using a portable glucometer, under the direction of care providers at the clinic. We propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of the "Diabetes Connected Health" tool, which is a secure website shared between patients of Type-2 Diabetes and their providers and displays (subjects') blood glucose values in graphical format. The study will be carried out through multiple primary care practices within the Partners/PCHI Network. We hypothesize that implementation of the Diabetes Connected Health Tool will result in overall better Diabetes Care, in terms of improved patient-provider interaction, and better patient satisfaction towards their care.
