Abstract
The projected epidemic of diabetes will emerge as a major threat to the public health. This paper concludes a review of the contribution of the IT to the diabetes management. As the design and development of a computer-aided system for the education of diabetes, have been described previously in various papers, this one presents the analysis of clinicians and diabetes requirements. Software implementation of newly proposed innovations is presented together with effectiveness and suitability rate of systems, prior to the identified requirements. The second aim of this paper was to present a complex web system: the GIGISim developed to facilitate the management of Diabetes mellitus through the co-ordination of multiple healthcare tools available directly in Internet.
