IN BRIEF Therapeutic inertia and suboptimal treatment adherence remain the key drivers of chronic poor diabetes control. Advances in mHealth technologies have spurred the development of a new generation of blood glucose monitoring systems that enable individuals with diabetes to automatically transfer glucose data and other information from their smartphones to their health care providers for analysis and interpretation via diabetes data-management software. This report discusses key lessons learned from two investigations that assessed the effects of interventions using the Accu-Chek Connect diabetes-management system (Roche Diabetes Care, Indianapolis, Ind.) within diverse diabetes populations.
