What this study is about

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of mobile health applications in improving health outcomes and the subsequent benefit of improving type II diabetes outcomes in a low socioeconomic Hispanic population. This study will involve a 6-month long commitment where participants will be expected to weigh themselves every morning, at the same time, and check their blood glucose readings daily before and after meals for at least three meals in the day.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.
