Background: Complications arising from uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) pose a significant burden on individuals' well-being and healthcare resources. Digital interventions may play a key role in mitigating such complications by supporting patients to adequately self-manage their condition.
Aim: To assess the impact of DiabeText, a new theory-based, patient-centered, mobile health intervention integrated with electronic health records to send tailored short text messages to support T2DM self-management.
Article Synopsis
- - The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology analyzed systematic reviews using GRADE to assess the effects of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and active smoking on asthma-related issues, focusing primarily on longitudinal studies.
- - Prenatal and postnatal ETS are linked to an increased risk of recurrent wheezing and new-onset asthma, with moderate to low certainty evidence indicating that combined ETS exposure heightens these risks.
- - Active smoking is associated with severe asthma exacerbations and poor asthma control, also backed by moderate certainty evidence, alongside potential impacts on quality of life and lung function.
