Summary
The purpose of the research is to evaluate and test the usefulness of the mobile application forDiabetes to improve the self-care of individuals with diabetes type 1. The investigators want to obtain the missing evidence from the field of application operation and their impact on individuals' self-care and study the acceptance of applications among healthcare staff, which plays an essential role in patient education.
Detailed description
The investigators will conduct a randomized study in which individuals included in the intervention group will use the forDiabetes app to self-care for their type 2 diabetes throughout the study. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted in family medicine clinics throughout Slovenia. At the start of the observation and the first control visit, the investigators will assess self-care and disease perception of individuals with the help of validated questionnaires. Measurement of body weight, blood pressure, blood sugar monitoring, and glycated hemoglobin will also be performed at the observation and a first control visit. For individuals who will use the forDiabetes application during the research, the investigators will also assess the frequency of using the mobile application in the home environment at the first control visit.
