Summary

This 12-month pilot study tests whether a nurse-led smartphone app can help Medicaid patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes improve their blood sugar control. The program combines educational messages, phone-based problem-solving with a nurse, and remote monitoring via a diabetes app. Sixty participants will be tracked to see if their blood sugar levels and diabetes knowledge improve.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a practical, low-cost way to help Medicaid patients with diabetes better manage their blood sugar using a smartphone app and nurse support.
