Diabetes should maintain normal blood glucose through the self-management to show the progression of complications, and prevention of diabetes complications. So far, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) has been the most basic elements of self-management of diabetes. Through SMBG, it is possible for diabetes to monitor the variation of the amount and type they eat, exercise and stress. However, the patient is not easy to apply and interpret the result of the self-measured blood glucose control. It requires appropriate feedback from professional but feedback is not completed because of the constraints of time and space. This inhibitory factor was now enable interactive communication between the practitioner and the patient regardless of time and place with the development of information and communication. The mobile app makes it easier to analyze and interpret SMBG data patterns. Now mobile diabetes apps based on smartphone apps are evolving as an essential tool, not as an aid to help improve the selfmanagement of people with diabetes. Diabetes educators should be interested in developing content for mobile diabetes apps and provide professional monitoring and feedback.
