Real-world assessments of mySugr mobile health app
Open accessAbstract
Mobile health (mHealth) solutions such as diabetes self-management apps improve glycated hemoglobin, particularly those that provide a feedback loop between patient and health care provider. mHealth apps that incorporate behaviorally designed interventions can improve patient access to diabetes self-management education and ongoing support. The mySugr mobile app was designed to support patients in their diabetes self-management. Most studies of mHealth apps were conducted under controlled conditions and did not elucidate the nuances of patient perceptions and utilization of these apps in everyday life. In this article, we discuss findings from real-world observations of changes in glycemic control and patient satisfaction associated with the use of the mySugr mHealth app.

mySugr observed improvements in mean blood glucose (−10.4%), tests in range (+8.5%), and estimated HbA1c (eA1c) (−0.4%) over two months by enhancing adherence to self-monitoring practices.
“mySugr observed improvements in mean blood glucose (−10.4%), tests in range (+8.5%), and estimated HbA1c (eA1c) (−0.4%) over two months by enhancing adherence to self-monitoring practices (32).”
From Personalized nutrition in type 2 diabetes remission: application of digital twin technology for predictive glycemic control (2024) · cites this paper as [32]
The Recent analyses section reports the three stated improvements between baseline and two months after mySugr Bundle initiation. It also reports increased monitoring frequency, but compares different time points and does not establish that improved adherence to self-monitoring caused the glycemic improvements. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
