Effectiveness of telemonitoring intervention on glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors' conclusion
Telemonitoring exhibited a great potential to improve T2DM management. Several technical features and patient factors may influence the effectiveness of telemonitoring. Further studies are needed to verify the findings and address limitations before its implementation into routine practice.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with T2DM; Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published 1990–2021
- Participants
- 4,678 patients30 RCTs
- Comparison
- Telemonitoring vs conventional care
- Outcome
- HbA1c and fasting blood glucose (FBG)
Pooled result
As reported in the abstract
- HbA1c significantly lower with telemonitoring vs conventional care (26 studies)
- Fasting blood glucose (FBG): no statistically significant difference (10 studies)
Further pooled results
Subgroup analysis
- Effect of telemonitoring on glycaemic control influenced by system practicality, user engagement, patient characteristics and disease education
