The article discusses the pilot randomized controlled trial conducted to test the capability and the effectiveness of the smartphone application in delivering a treat-to-target insulin titration algorithm within the patient with type 2 diabetes. It mentions that majority of the emerging trend in telemedicine may contribute to incorrect dose recommendations that put patient at risk for overdose.
