Purpose: To assess and summarize the effects of internet-based interventions on diabetes control and self-management of older adults with diabetes.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science and three Chinese databases were searched to identified articles published in until December 2021. Clinical trials if they covered the effects of internet-based interventions on diabetes control and self-management of older adults with diabetes were included. All data analysis were performed by Review Manager 5.3.
Results: Sixteen studies with a total of 5604 participants met the inclusion criteria. Our primary outcomes included HbA1c control and self-management. (1) HbA1c control: results indicated statistically difference and high heterogeneity [Q = 112.9, df = 8, p < 0.001, I = 93%], in the subgroup analysis of studies in China, results showed a significant influence of internet-based interventions on HbA1c control [Q = 21.31, df = 5, p = 0.03, I = 77%]; (2) self-management: in the subgroup analysis of study duration ≤ 6 months [Q = 84.62, df = 2, p < 0.001, I = 98%].
Conclusion: Internet-based interventions are promising on diabetes control and self-management of older adults with diabetes, but still preliminary due to the heterogeneity of intervention components and the limited number of higher methodological quality trials.

Objective: Understanding healthcare-seeking propensity is crucial for optimizing healthcare utilization, especially for patients with chronic conditions like hypertension or diabetes, given their substantial burden on healthcare systems globally. This study aims to evaluate hypertensive or diabetic patients' healthcare-seeking propensity based on the severity of symptoms, categorizing symptoms as either major or minor. It also explores factors influencing healthcare-seeking propensity and examines whether healthcare-seeking propensity affects healthcare utilization and preventable hospitalizations.
