To determine the effect of using a mobile app versus paper logs on compliance and percentage in range blood sugars in monitoring blood sugar in pregnant women with diabetes.
Women with type 2 and gestational diabetes have to keep strict logs of their blood sugar and record blood sugar values 4 times per day (fasting and 2 hours after every meal). This is often the first time they've had to keep such strict logs. Patients are provided with paper logs to record their blood sugars, however these can be lost or damaged and often they are not brought back to clinic. Mobile apps can be used to record blood sugar as well. This study will be comparing compliance with recording blood sugar values as prescribed with paper logs versus a mobile app. Subjects will be recruited…
