Article Synopsis
- The EDUC@DOM study evaluated a telemedicine program aimed at improving the management of type 2 diabetes through remote monitoring and education, analyzing its effects over 1 and 2 years.
- Results showed that patients in the telemonitoring group experienced both a decrease in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and significant cost savings compared to the control group, amounting to €1334 and €3144 over 1 and 2 years, respectively.
- The findings suggest that telemonitoring can be a cost-effective approach for managing type 2 diabetes, potentially leading to wider acceptance and implementation of similar programs.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the impact of a connected telemonitoring device and lifestyle education software on managing type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to standard care.
- A total of 282 participants were randomly assigned to a telemonitoring group (TMG) or a control group (CG) for one year, with the TMG using interactive software and connected devices at home under remote monitoring.
- Results showed a small but significant improvement in HbA1c levels and weight loss in the TMG, particularly among those who frequently used the telemonitoring tools, although the overall difference compared to the CG was not statistically significant.
Background: The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes is considerable. To avoid or delay its chronic complications, patients with type 2 diabetes should improve blood glucose management by adapting their life style. This involves changing the way in which diabetes is controlled.

The ENTRED survey results show that insufficient screening is undertaken. The DIABSAT program aims to improve care for diabetes patients in rural areas of the Midi-Pyrénées region, telemonitoring complications of diabetes through an itinerant screening service.

Objectives: (1) To review COI studies published between 2000 and 2015, about DR, DKD and DFU; (2) to analyse methods used.
Methods: Disease definition, epidemiological approach, perspective, type of costs, activity data sources, cost valuation, sensitivity analysis, cost discounting and presentation of costs may be described in COI studies.
Effect of Nutritional Intervention on Food Choices of French Students in Middle School Cafeterias, Using an Interactive Educational Software Program (Nutri-Advice).
J Nutr Educ Behav
February 2016
Objective: To evaluate the impact of interactive Nutri-Advice kiosks on children's nutritional skills and their ability to apply it to food choices in a middle school cafeteria menu (food choice competencies).
Design: Quasi-experimental design; pre/post-test.
Setting: Freestanding interactive computer terminals (kiosks) were installed in three middle schools in Toulouse, France.
