Effective management of diabetes mellitus requires the processing and interpretation of blood glucose, insulin and other lifestyle data. This paper presents a web-based diabetes management system (DiabNet), developed to provide instant access to the electronic diabetes database and real-time information for healthcare professionals in order to facilitate their decision-making. DiabNet offers innovative online diabetes management involving online appointment and consultation. It integrates portable glucometer, handheld computer, mobile phone and Internet access as a combined telecommunication and mobile computing solution for diabetes management. Active Server Pages (ASP) embedded with advanced ActiveX controls and VBScript were programmed to allow remote data upload, retrieval and interpretation. This intelligent system can be personalized to the needs of the individual patient, incorporating appropriate historic trends in blood glucose data and with the potential for including an adaptive capability. Internet-based learning features, together with a video teleconferencing component make the DiabNet website an informative platform for teleconsultation. Security steps have also been taken to protect sensitive patient information and the authentication of registered user.
