What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a mobile app compared to traditional paper logs for monitoring blood sugar levels in pregnant women diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes. Participants will record their blood sugar values four times daily, and the study aims to assess compliance and the percentage of readings within the target range. Women will be recruited from obstetric clinics at Augusta University, and the OneTouch Reveal application will be utilized for the mobile tracking. The goal is to determine if the app improves adherence to blood sugar monitoring compared to paper logs.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance blood sugar management and improve health outcomes for pregnant women with diabetes.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results using mobile applications for diabetes management, indicating potential success for this approach.
