Advances in the area of mobile and wireless communication for healthcare (m-Health) along with the improvements in information science allow the design and development of new patient-centric models for the provision of personalised healthcare services, increase of patient independence and improvement of patient's self-control and self-management capabilities. This paper comprises a brief overview of the m-Health applications towards the self-management of individuals with diabetes mellitus and the enhancement of their quality of life. Furthermore, the design and development of a mobile phone application for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) self-management is presented. The technical evaluation of the application, which permits the management of blood glucose measurements, blood pressure measurements, insulin dosage, food/drink intake and physical activity, has shown that the use of the mobile phone technologies along with data analysis methods might improve the self-management of T1DM.
移动与无线医疗通信（移动医疗）领域的进展以及信息科学的进步，使得以患者为中心的新型个性化医疗服务模式得以设计和开发，提高了患者的独立性，并提升了患者的自我控制和自我管理能力。本文简要概述了移动医疗在糖尿病患者自我管理及提高其生活质量方面的应用。此外，还介绍了一款用于1型糖尿病（T1DM）自我管理的手机应用程序的设计与开发。该应用程序可管理血糖测量、血压测量、胰岛素剂量、饮食摄入和身体活动，其技术评估表明，结合数据分析方法使用手机技术可能会改善T1DM的自我管理。
