Summary

Medical cost in Taiwan for management of diabetes has accounted for the top three. Diabetic patients often have poor self-health managements, there by leading to occurrence of complications. investigators team has previously published that medical staff directly instructed to the elderly with diabetes comorbid with knee osteoarthritis by performing elastic band resistance exercise, participants can improve functional activity after 12 weeks of intervention. However, there was a decrease in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), but it did not reach a significant improvement.Investigators also found that how to improve the glycemic control, particularly in during the follow-up periods, and how to increase the amount of physical activity of diabetic patients that may affect the changes in glycated hemoglobin. With the rapid development of up-to-date medical technology, medical applications (apps) has emerging developing to aid self-health management by themselves. Therefore, this project will continue to explore the effectiveness of using simple tracking, monitoring, and immediate feedback on the health management of diabetic patients. Although various apps have been adopted for the monitoring of diabetic patients, few medical professionals regularly use smartphone apps to directly supervise diabetic patients to make immediate remote medical intervention regarding blood glucose, medications, blood pressure, body composition, and even monitor physical activity concurrently.
