Abstract

Objective: To explore the effects of integrating a chronic disease management platform with traditional Chinese medicine interventions on glycemic control, self-management ability, and psychological health status in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A total of 180 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes who visited the endocrinology outpatient clinic of Sheyang County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2024 to September 2025 were selected. Patients were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group using computer-generated random numbers. The control group received routine outpatient care and traditional Chinese medicine treatment, while the experimental group received additional information support interventions via the chronic disease management platform on top of the control group's treatment. Glycemic control indicators, self-management ability, and psychological health status were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results: The experimental group showed superior outcomes in glycemic control, self-management ability improvement, and alleviation of anxiety and depression compared to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The integration of a chronic disease management platform with traditional Chinese medicine interventions can effectively improve glycemic control, enhance self-management ability, and ameliorate psychological health status in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.
