Effectiveness Review
No content is available for this section.
A summary evidence table for this Community Guide review is not available because the CPSTF finding is based on the following published systematic review:
Hou C, Carter B, Hewitt J, Francisa T, Mayor S. Do mobile phone applications improve glycemic control (HbA1c) in the self-management of diabetes? A systematic review, meta-analysis, and GRADE of 14 randomized trials. Diabetes Care 2016; 39:2089-95.
The following studies from Hou et al. (2016) evaluated interventions for type 1 diabetes. The number of studies and publications do not always correspond (e.g., a publication may include several studies or one study may be explained in several publications).
