It is well proved that telemedicine helps diabetic patients control their glucose levels, facilitating their day-to-day therapy management and communication with health care personnel. The rapid growth and development of information technologies in the areas of mobile computing and mobile Internet is shaping a new technological scenario of telemedicine and shared care systems. In this chapter we will show one approach to mobile telemedicine for diabetes care.
