Effects of an Internet-based intervention on plasma glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes . This study applied a 12-week educational intervention that used both the cellular phone and the Internet to send short message service . Forty-two diabetic patients were asked to access a Web site by using a cellular phone or wire Internet and input their blood glucose levels every day . Patients were sent the optimal recommendations by both the cellular phone and the Internet . After 12 weeks , the patients had a mean decrease of 28.6 mg/dL in fasting plasma glucose and 78.4 mg/dL in 2-hour postprandial blood sugar levels and a mean increase in the care satisfaction score .
