  Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by an increase in
blood glucose (sugar) above normal levels and it appears when human body is not
able to produce enough insulin to cover the peripheral tissue demand. Nowadays,
DM affects the 8.5% of the world's population and, even though no cure for it
has been found, an adequate monitoring and treatment allow patients to have an
almost normal life. This paper introduces Diabetes Link, a comprehensive
platform for control and monitoring people with DM. Diabetes Link allows
recording various parameters relevant for the treatment and calculating
different statistical charts using them. In addition, it allows connecting with
other users (supervisors) so they can monitor the controls. Even more, the
extensive comparative study carried out reflects that Diabetes Link presents
distinctive and superior features against other proposals. We conclude that
Diabetes Link represents a broad and accessible tool that can help make
day-to-day control easier and optimize the efficacy in DM control and
treatment.
