Diabetes distress is an important factor in treatment outcomes and results in poor behavioral and biological consequences. Technology has been used in management programs of diabetes to improve communication between patients and health care providers and to promote education about the disease and its psychological aspects, which can impact the self-efficacy of the programs. However, the true impact of technological approaches on the management of type 2 diabetes distress remains controversial.
