Abstract

This paper describes a microcomputer-based decision support system (DSS) for diabetes monitoring. The system's basic functions include a patient management subsystem, an electronic logbook, a nutrition and exercise module, a dictionary for diabetes-related terminology, a diabetic-physician data transfer module and an on-line help capability. DMSS (Diabetes Monitoring Support System) provides a data capturing capability, trend analysis, and nutrition/exercise decision support to improve the monitoring and maintenance of diabetes. It was designed to be used by both a physician and a patient and can also serve as a useful teaching aid for a new diabetic. Its basic advantages lie in its comprehensiveness and flexibility. It is also user-friendly, easy to operate, and does not require any previous computer experience.
