Efficacy of the Digital Platform for Diabetes Care Compared to Usual Care in Patients Diagnosed With Type 2 Diabetes.

ClouDi is a telemedicine platform that was developed for the remote monitoring of patients with diabetes in Colombia. It incorporated the recommendations that were published in a usability pilot study that was conducted previously with an open-source cloud platform. The platform consists of a web version, a version for mobile devices and a desktop application, which is installed on the patient's personal computer, thereby allowing glucose measurements taken through the Optium Neo glucometer (Abbott Diabetes Care, Alameda, CA, USA) to be uploaded automatically to the cloud. In this trial, the glucose measurements that were uploaded to the ClouDi website, were reviewed weekly by the members of the research group who were responsible for adjusting the therapy to the insulin titration scheme prescribed for the patient. The patients were informed about these adjustments by text messages sent from the web version of ClouDi to the patient's mobile phone via pop-up notifications.

They will have a regular visit after 3 months where the capillary glucose data will be evaluated in person by the clinical team, the insulin dose will be titrated according to the type of insulin and the presence of hypoglycemia.
