Key result
Follow-up phone calls every two weeks for 2 months did not significantly lower capillary blood glucose levels compared to standard care in diabetic patients (p=0.812).
Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a telephone call intervention on glycemic control in diabetic patients over 2 months.

Does a follow-up phone call intervention improve capillary blood glucose levels in diabetic patients in a primary care setting?
Absolute Event Rate: -5.77% vs -4.22%
p-value: p=0.812
A biweekly follow-up phone call intervention over 2 months did not significantly improve capillary blood glucose or blood pressure levels compared to standard care in primary care diabetic patients.
Wongwutthiwet et al. (2021) conducted an RCT in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (n=115). Follow-up phone calls vs. Standard care was evaluated on Mean difference of Capillary blood glucose (CBG) between 0 month and 2 months (p=0.812). Follow-up phone calls every two weeks for 2 months did not significantly lower capillary blood glucose levels compared to standard care in diabetic patients (p=0.812).
