Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="author" id="abs0005"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec> <p id="spar0005">Diabetes is a global epidemic, with insufficient medical management capacity. It is becoming increasingly relevant to develop sustainable methods of self-management and collaboration between clinical personnel and those living with diabetes. While there have been favorable advances in mobile self-management tools for the disease, few have been validated and acknowledged. Health policies are not being established as quickly as these tools are becoming available, and the public has taken action into their own hands.</p> </sec> </abstract>
