Diabetes is rapidly growing in prevalence worldwide. The number of people with diabetes was 171 million in 2000 and will grow to 366 million by 2030. One reason for this is a growing elderly population, but younger people are increasingly likely to develop diabetes due to an increase in mean weight and a decrease in exercise. The increasing resources needed to modify lifestyle and appropriately manage diabetes are a worldwide healthcare burden. Promising solutions arise among others from wireless technologies and mobile solutions. In this paper, the needs for information, change in lifestyle, health monitoring, and management of medication and complications in diabetes are analysed. They form a basis for following review of available wireless solutions for managing diabetes. Finally, future prospects of mobile management of diabetes are discussed.
糖尿病在全球的患病率正在迅速上升。2000年，糖尿病患者人数为1.71亿，到2030年将增至3.66亿。原因之一是老年人口不断增加，但由于平均体重增加和运动量减少，年轻人患糖尿病的可能性也越来越大。改变生活方式和妥善管理糖尿病所需的资源不断增加，这已成为全球医疗保健的负担。无线技术和移动解决方案等带来了一些有前景的解决办法。本文分析了糖尿病患者在信息、生活方式改变、健康监测以及药物和并发症管理方面的需求。这些需求构成了后续对现有糖尿病管理无线解决方案进行综述的基础。最后，讨论了糖尿病移动管理的未来前景。
