“…Body weight and age are customizable settings in the game, and the game was found to be likeable and useful by 30 diabetes patients 12-24 years old. 32 In addition to Insulot, Aoki et al 29 developed three other diabetes-related games: Tamagoya (translation: ''Egg Breeder''), Tantei (''Detective''), and Magic Toom (''Buildup Blocks'') teach basic type 1 diabetes management skills, intermediate type 1 diabetes management skills, and nutritional education via food selection, respectively. The three games were evaluated by eliciting the tester's perceptions of entertainment, usability, and clinical usefulness and were rated highly in all categories.…”

Video games for diabetes education show potential as effective educational interventions. Yet we found that improvements are needed in expanding the target audience, tailoring the intervention, and using theoretical frameworks. In the future, the reach and effectiveness of educational video games for diabetes education could be improved by expanding the target audience beyond juvenile type 1 diabetes mellitus, the use of tailoring, and increased use of theoretical frameworks.

“…Entertainment-education messages have been shown to be highly effective in changing the health behaviors of low-literacy audiences who may not be initially motivated to process a message [12,18]. Nevertheless, the use of IMM and entertainment education to promote informed decision making has been limited [19–21]. …”

Objective-To evaluate an entertainment-based patient decision aid for prostate cancer screening among patients with low or high health literacy.Methods-Male primary care patients from two clinical sites, one characterized as serving patients with low health literacy (n=149) and the second as serving patients with high health literacy (n=301), were randomized to receive an entertainment-based decision aid for prostate cancer screening or an audiobooklet-control aid with the same learner content but without the entertainment features. Postintervention and 2-week follow-up assessments were conducted.Results-Patients at the low-literacy site were more engaged with the entertainment-based aid than patients at the high-literacy site. Overall, knowledge improved for all patients. Among patients at the low-literacy site, the entertainment-based aid was associated with lower decisional conflict and © 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

T HE COMPLEXITY OF DIABETES CARE and the flood of newly diagnosed patients in the face of reimbursement cutbacks have created an almost unmanageable clinical load. Automation and self-management may be the most viable solution to this problem. For example, if the average endocrinologist cares for 400 patients with diabetes and if they attain the goal of checking their blood glucose (BG) four to six times per day and send them each to be reviewed by the health care team, that creates more than a half million data points to review each year. The current standard of care is to review BG data at clinic visits while relying on patients to call the health care team if there are "problems" or 911 if there are perceived emergencies. This system allows broad interpretation by the patient, potential long delays in contacting the health care team during illness, and more frequent emergency department and/or hospital usage rather than timely phone management. In addition this standard of care renders a huge portion of the data useless at analysis, since the review may be months after the collection.The logical solution then would be to encourage data collection and provide the knowledge and tools required to react independently to the data collected. When each data point is used to make a decision, this in itself motivates collection of the data and influences frequent dose adjustments and behavior changes and can lead to improved metabolic control. While the paper by Leu et al. 1 in this issue of DTT did not specifically discuss BG data management or dose adjustments, the program did generate alerts for out-of-range data sent by pager for review. The patient was not required to send data.The automated system in this paper is used as a reminder to perform scheduled tasks, such as exercise, to take medications, or to check BG levels, as preselected by the patients. The patient could then reply with a canned or typed response. The program sent approximately 500 automated messages to each patient, and generated (when the two high responders were excluded) a 14% response rate: 0.1% of all sent messages generated responses that were noncanned and therefore went directly to the investigator, and 14% of those required further action. For 21 patients in the pager group 114 calls requiring investigator attention over 5 months is fairly high. The ability to type messages increases the attention needed to maintain the system. This is especially evident by the two highresponding patients who each replied to over 85% of their messages. By restriction of the responses to more varied canned responses with acknowledged requests for investigator attention the time required by the health care team may have been reduced by this program. The majority of messages requiring attention were about technical problems.Though the authors conclude that the patients felt more supported in the pager group
