积极参与自我管理和护理的患者更有可能有效地管理慢性病。在过去的20年里，慢性病的发病率增加了5倍，获得信息可以为患者提供自我管理慢性病的工具和支持。新媒体技术可以作为一种工具，让患者参与到医疗保健中来。由于互联网的日益普及和健康信息的可用性，患者更容易寻求和找到有关其健康的信息。因此，互联网可以作为一种增强能力的机制。这对于糖尿病患者尤其重要，因为强化自我管理至关重要。
Patients who are active and involved in their self-management and care are more likely to manage chronic conditions effectively. With a 5-fold increase in the incidence of chronic illness over the past 20 years, access to information can provide patients the tools and support to self-manage their chronic illness. New media technologies can serve as tools to engage and involve patients in their health care. Due to the increasing ubiquity of the Internet and the availability of health information, patients are more easily able to seek and find information about their health.. Thus, the Internet can serve as a mechanism of empowerment. This is especially important for people with diabetes mellitus where intensive self-management is critical.
