An open RCT finds a smart-speaker virtual assistant with a behavioural intervention reduces mental distress and improves quality of life, self-care, and HbA1c in older adults with type 2 diabetes. PICO summary and commentary.
A large international RCT finds automated insulin delivery (MiniMed 670G/770G) improves HbA1c in those above 8% and reduces hypoglycaemia in those at target versus multiple daily injections in type 1 diabetes. PICO summary and commentary.
A 24-week RCT finds Bluetooth-enabled glucometers do not improve glucose control over traditional glucometers in telehealth insulin titration, though they reduce emergency department visits. PICO summary and commentary.
