What this study is
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether an audio diary mobile application (Fabla-diabetesMM) is feasible to use and may support self-management in older adults with type 1 or 2 diabetes and multimorbidity.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Is it feasible to adapt and implement the Fabla-diabetesMM audio diary mobile app among 30 older adults with diabetes and multimorbidity
- Does the use of the audio diary mobile app affect self-management outcomes
What's being tested
- Fabla Mobile App
Intervention · OTHER
Participants will use an adapted audio diary mobile application (Fabla-diabetesMM) designed to collect daily structured and semi-structured audio reflections on health conditions, symptoms, self-management strategies, goal attainment, and feasibility feedback. The app is tailored for older adults, including adjustments to interface, font, navigation, and question wording. Intervention Components: * Daily audio diary entries for 7 days, with optional continued use up to 1 or 3 months * Structured survey items integrated into the app (e.g., symptoms, self-regulation, self-efficacy, healthcare use) * Semi-structured audio prompts about daily experiences, self-management, and health changes * Reminder notifications to encourage diary completion * Video instructions on how to use the app
