Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Intervention arm
Participants in the intervention group will receive usual care, and also use a diabetesapp and a homepage and advice personally tailored according to the personal needs to provide support for them to manage e.g. food choices, exercise, medicine, blood sugars and emotional adaptation.

Person-centred tailored digital self-management support hypothesised to decrease HbA1c, improve other metabolic measurements, improve lifestyle habits, and increase diabetes empowerment, increase diabetes-dependent quality of life, improve illness perception, and improve eHealth literacy.

Access to the diabetes mobile application and the homepage during 16 weeks. Each individual will set personal goals for use of the digital resources.

OTHER: Control arm
Participants in the control group will receive usual care and also take part in a minimal intervention in the form of a brochure on the importance of self-management in diabetes.
