What is it about?
Managing diabetes can be a challenge, but using smartphones and special apps can make it easier. In this study, we looked at how technology like smartphone apps can help people with diabetes take better care of themselves. We gathered information from different studies and found that using these apps can improve diabetes management. They help people learn more about their condition and how to stay healthy. Plus, they can save money by reducing the need for expensive treatments. However, we still need more research to make sure these benefits last over time.
