| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | Patients with diabetes exhibiting suboptimal glycemic control. |
| Intervention | Use of an eHealth application module aimed at improving glycemic control. |
| Comparison | Standard care without access to the eHealth application module. |
| Outcome | The eHealth module significantly improved clinical glycemic outcomes, though sustained benefits depended on participant adherence to the intervention. |
