Previous dropout from diabetic care as a predictor of patients' willingness to use mobile applications for self‐management: A cross‐sectional study

Preventing dropout is crucial in managing diabetes. Accordingly, we investigated whether patients who had dropped out of diabetic care are suitable candidates for the use of mobile technologies – such as smartphone applications – to support self‐management (mHealth), which might help prevent dropout.
