Item COMPONENTES TECNOLÓGICOS PARA EL CONTROL Y TRATAMIENTO DE DIABETES MELLITUS. IMPACTO ACTUAL(2025-06-16) Tipan Bunshi Pablo Alexander; Salinas Velastegui Verónica Gabriela; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Carrera de MedicinaIntroduction: the management of diabetes mellitus has undergone a significant transformation with the integration of advanced technologies such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and mobile applications, which have improved glycemic control and patients' quality of life. Objective: this article aims to review the current technological components used for the control and treatment of diabetes mellitus and evaluate their impact on disease management. Methodology: a bibliographic review of articles published between 2015 and 2023 was conducted. Databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were used. A literature review was conducted on articles published between 2019 and 2024. Databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were utilized. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to consolidate studies of higher scientific prominence. Results: the review results indicated that the use of CGM significantly improves glycemic control, with an average HbA1c reduction of 0.5%. Insulin pumps combined with CGM have shown improvement in time in range (TIR) and a decrease in hypoglycemic episodes. Mobile applications have been effective in lifestyle modification, especially in patients with type 2 diabetes, improving treatment adherence and reducing HbA1c levels. Conclusions: advanced technologies for the management of diabetes mellitus, such as CGM and mobile applications, have proven effective in improving clinical outcomes and patients' quality of life. However, challenges such as cost and accessibility limit their widespread use
