A trial was conducted in the north-eastern part of Germany to evaluate the impact of the \u2015Mobil Diab\u2016, a mobile diabetes management system, on the clinical outcome. 68 subjects aged between 8 and 18 years, divided randomly into control and intervention groups, were included into the study. Metrics such as changes in the quality of metabolic control, changes in psychological parameters, usability and acceptance of the technology were used for evaluation purpose. Metabolic control was mainly assessed by the mean HbAlc. Analysis showed a good acceptance of the proposed system. An overall improvement in mean levels of HbA1c was observed, however further studies will be conducted to prove evidence of the weight and BMI improvements. Moreover, initial indications of positive impact on the improvement in psychological&nbsp;parameters were presumed based on the result of the conducted study. The system appeared to be an efficient and time saving tool in diabetes management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Weitere Informationen: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2075-4426\/4\/2\/200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2075-4426\/4\/2\/200<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autoren:\u00a0Rolf-Dietrich Berndt, Claude Takenga, Petra Preik, Sebastian Kuehn,\u00a0Luise Berndt,\u00a0Herbert Mayer, Alexander Kaps\u00a0and Ralf Schiel Being able to manage and adjust insulin doses is a key part of managing type-1 diabetes.
