Purpose A total of 537 million suffered from diabetes mellitus in 2021, and the aging of the population will not abate this number in the future. Diabetes predisposes people to ailments and doubles the risk of COVID-19 mortality. mHealth has shown promise to help manage diabetes. The aim of this review is to objectively analyze research from the last 2.5 years to assess effectiveness where mHealth has been used as an intervention to help manage diabetes in older patients. We also analyzed patient satisfaction, quality, and barriers to adoption of mHealth to manage diabetes. Patients and Methods No human subjects were involved in this review. We queried four research databases for mHealth to manage diabetes in older adults. We conducted the review based on the Kruse Protocol for writing as systematic review and we reported our findings in accordance with PRISMA (2020). Results Thirty research articles from 11 countries were analyzed. Five interventions of mHealth were identified. Of these mHealth Short Message service (SMS) helped change behavior and encouraged self-care. mHealth SMS coupled with telemedicine for coaching showed positive effects on weight loss, BMI, diet, exercise, HbA1C, disease awareness, blood pressure, cholesterol, medication adherence, and foot care. Conclusion mHealth SMS coupled with telemedicine for coaching shows the greatest promise for educating, changing behavior, and realizing positive outcomes across a broad spectrum of health factors. The largest drawback is the cost of acquiring equipment and training users.

AimTo evaluate and summarise the evidence for the management of older people with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using ‘Internet Plus nursing services (IPNS)’.DesignThis study was conducted as an evidence summary, adhering strictly to the evidence summary reporting standards established by Fudan University Center for Evidence‐based Nursing.MethodsWe systematically searched for the best available evidence pertaining to the management of older people with T2DM using the IPNS. The literature types encompassed clinical guidelines, expert consensuses, systematic reviews, evidence summaries and original research studies.Data SourcesIn order to gather pertinent information, we conducted a comprehensive search across various databases, including UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, Joanna Briggs Institute, Guidelines International Network, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, Registered Nurses Association of Ontario, Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Yi Maitong Guidelines Network, SinoMed, CNKI, WanFang database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database and China Science and Technology Journal Database. The search spanned from the inception of each database up to July 2023, ensuring an extensive coverage of relevant resources.ResultAfter rigorous screening and evaluation, our study ultimately identified 19 articles with high‐quality research outcomes. These articles consisted of three guidelines, two expert consensus documents, three systematic reviews and eleven original research studies. Through collaborative and in‐depth discussions, we extracted and synthesised 27 pieces of evidence related to the application of the IPNS to enhance the T2DM management for older people. We categorised the evidence into five primary themes: mobile terminal design, team building, health education design, interaction and social support, and information feedback.ConclusionIn designing the IPNS for older people with T2DM, utmost attention should be paid to the intricacies of Internet module development preceded by comprehensive guidance. It is imperative to establish multidisciplinary teams to oversee the curation of patient educational content, ensuring its relevance and effectiveness. Leveraging Internet‐based information feedback mechanisms is crucial for fostering peer support, assisting in blood glucose control, enhancing self‐management capabilities and ultimately improving overall quality of life. Healthcare professionals are supposed to customise the IPNS for this vulnerable population, taking into account institutional resources and local contextual realities.For the Professional Field and Patient Care ImplicationsIt is highly recommended that clinical medical personnel worldwide adhere to the evidence‐based recommendations for better care of older people with T2DM using the IPNS.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution was incorporated in this study.Implications for PracticeOur study provides structured ideas for the application of IPNS in T2DM management, provides practicable new ways for IPNS to improve self‐management of older people with T2DM, and encourages the provision of Internet‐based nursing services based on the needs and characteristics of older people, and jointly solves the challenges of T2DM management in order to enhance the effectiveness of nursing services.
