Abstract

Background: Globally, people with diabetes mellitus are increasing in number, mostly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There is a specific diabetes management that could prevent severe complication. This diabetes management could be helped by using smartphone application.Objective: To identify the use of a smartphone application on blood glucose level and glycated haemoglobin management in T2DM.Methods: This study was a literature review. The database used in this study were Pubmed, Science Direct, and Cochrane. The literature inclusion criteria were written in English, published between 2008 and 2018, available in free full text, using T2DM as a sample, using smartphone or mobile phone as intervention, provided blood glucose levels and/or glycated haemoglobin as outcomes, and research paper. Books and seminar results were excluded. The study applied PRISMA guidelines to extract and synthesize data.Results: There were three papers that met the requirements as the result of systematic search. The use of smartphone application supported blood glucose and glycated haemoglobin improvement by reducing their level, from bad to moderate condition. The improvement was happened in the presence of several smartphone applications for diabetes education service, feedback, and self-monitoring.Conclusion: The use smartphone application help in managing blood glucose and glycated haemoglobin levels. Nurse and other healthcare staffs could utilize smartphone to control blood glucose and glycated haemoglobin levels by educating and self-monitoring diabetes patient’s condition.
