A Team-Based Online Game Improves Blood Glucose Control in Veterans With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized, Controlled Trial.
"Patients with diabetes who were randomized to an online game delivering DSME demonstrated sustained and meaningful HbA1c improvements. Among patients with poorly controlled diabetes, the DSME game reduced HbA1c
by a magnitude comparable to starting a new diabetes medication. Online
games may be a scalable approach to improve outcomes among
geographically dispersed patients with diabetes and other chronic
diseases."
Quiz and team-based gaming improves diabetes self-management with equivalent efficacy to a new diabetes medication.
