| Scientific title | |
| Study objectives | By using a remote log-in system, Vtech 8300, the 24-hour free access to the Diabetes Monitoring System (DMS) can be usefully employed to educate and reinforce the ditetic knowledge of diabetic patients. The immediate feedback mechanism can motivate and elicit their co-operation in the long-term management of their diabetic condition. This will result in an improvement in their sugar control. |

| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Diabetes |
| Intervention | Patients were randomly assigned to the control group or the Vtech CV 8300 study group accordingly: 1. Study group: Each patient was issued a Vtech CV 8300 device. Home blood sugar data were collected. Calculations were done and immediate feedback on calories and nutrients were sent back to the patient 2. Control group: They would not have the Vtech CV 8300 or additional support apart from the usual follow up routine |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | 1. Metabolic: metabolic control in terms of change in glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) over the whole study period was measured and compared 2. Acceptability of DMS: a questionnaire was given to the participant after the study to access the acceptability and satisfaction with the DMS |
