In [21], authors proposed a preliminary version of an IoT continuous glucose monitors (GCM)-based system. This system allows to patients with diabetes, especially those dependent on insulin (such as children and elders), to monitor blood sugar levels by collecting levels frequently and to warn them in case of dangerous situation. This helps for diagnosis, patient monitoring, or even public health actions by pushing to advanced control of the disease. This IoT application is based on fog computing system using distributed mobile smartphones that collect the data from the CGM (a small device with a sensor that takes blood sugar readings 24 hours a day) and blockchain technology to provide transparent and trustworthy manipulation of the collected data (i.e., validation, storage, and access).
Implement, Document, and Celebrate

No problem-solving event should ever be considered complete until some kind of safeguard is put in place to minimize the probability of a recurrence of the problem. Wouldn’t it be a shame after all of the work a team did to determine the root cause of a problem and then implemented a solution that some kind of control of the factor that caused the problem wasn’t implemented, and the problem came back into the process. It is important to remember that the purpose of a control is to give an advanced warning that something may be wrong before it is actually wrong. For example, diabetics routinely monitor their blood sugar levels to make sure that the level of their blood sugar stays within an acceptable range. They do this to avoid damaging their vital organs.

For physical exams and blood samplings, diastolic and systolic blood pressure were in the normal range for female workers (78.79–118.27 mmHg) on average, but slight high for systolic blood pressure among male workers (124.65 mmHg) on average. Blood sugar levels were 92.22 mg/dL for males and 101.71 mg/dL for females on average in normal range (70–100 mg/dL). Total cholesterol levels were 241.44 mg/dL for males and 241.57 mg/dL for females on average in moderate high (<200 mg/dL) and triglyceride levels were 159 mg/dL on average for males and slight higher than normal range, but 93.57 mg/dL for females on average in normal range (<200 mg/dL). Uric levels in urine were 5.29 mg/dL for males and 4.58 mg/dL for females on average in normal range (2.4–7 mg/dL) (Diagnosis Criteria for Occupational Diseases, 2007) (Table 4). From the chest X-ray tests, 11 cases (3.6%) for males and 7 cases (1.9%) for female workers were detected as mild and moderate pulmonary defects.

Rapid rise in the spread of Diabetes mellitus has been seen from past few decades globally. It has several long term adverse effects like mortality, stroke, risk of myocardial infarction etc. on the patients [1]. According to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) approximately 381.8 million people have already been diagnosed as diabetic worldwide and it is estimated that 591.9 million people can be diagnosed diabetic by 2030 with a huge growth rate of 55% [2]. Diabetes mellitus is excess of blood sugar level in the body. Insulin is often associated with diabetes, which is a hormone generated by the pancreas organ (a fish shaped gland). Insulin allows body to consume glucose from the food taken. Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes mellitus in which body cells are not be able to utilise the insulin produced by the pancreas organ for the consumption of glucose. Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) techniques have shown their potential for deterrence of diabetes. Researchers [3,4] have already shown that CAM techniques are natural and effective for chronic diseases like diabetes.
