Adult patients with diabetes on insulin are eligible for the study. They will be randomized
to a group using standard of care communication and a group using an I phone intervention.

Type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects who know how to operate and own an iPhone, are
between the age of 19 to 75, and are on a basal/bolus insulin regimen will be included in the
study. Subjects will be randomized to two groups - iPhone versus standard of care and seen in
our clinic at an initial/baseline and three month clinical visit. The control group will
e-mail, fax, or call their blood glucose log results once a month for an insulin regimen
adjustment through verbal communication with a certified diabetic educator once a month as is
already implemented at the Diabetes Center. This group will be compared to the intervention
group who will submit their blood glucose log results through an iPhone mobile application,
called Diabetes Doctor, once a month for an insulin regimen adjustment by a physician with a
text message response. The two groups will have their HbA1c, hypoglycemic events, blood
glucose dispersion compliance, quality of life, usability and satisfaction with the use of a
mobile application will be assessed at each visit with surveys.
