New Help for Diabetes Patients: Your cell phone

As reported by ABC News, Diabetes doctors have found a new way to help their patients: cell phones. Since people in every age range are affected by this disease, this new technical development works well for those who are young and affected by the disease.

The system for the most part consists of texting. Patients text their doctors with their blood sugar levels. This way when someone forgets to text in their blood sugar level, the doctor’s office will respond with a text to notify the patient that they need to test their blood.

This new technology will benefit teenagers the most. As most of them today are always connected with their cell phone, they’ll never forget to take their blood sugar.
