This system allow to store and manage the diabetic patients' health data related to their diabetes lifelong. The system consists of two parts that are the patient portal used by the diabetic patients and doctors, and the management portal used by the system administrators. By using this system, blood glucose values, nutrition, exercises, medications, laboratory tests, vaccines, diagnosis, yearly examinations, complications, diabetes examinatios and other autoimmum diseases such as celiac or tyroid data of diabetic patients can be stored. All these data of a diabetic patient are used to track his/her course of diabetes by himself and the doctor. In the system, it is possible by super admins to filter diabetic patients in the country. Due the system has dynamic infrastructure for laboratory tests, it is easily adaptable to new developments regarding new laboratory test. The proposed system was designed based on responsive Web interface that makes it compatible with various devices such as desktop and smartphones. Therefore, it is expected to have high usage rates. In adition to this, as improvements have been observed in the clinical data of patients who use such diabetes monitoring systems, it is believed that this system will have positive effects n diabetes treathments of diabetic patients in North Cyprus.
