<abstract>
<p>Smart care is one of the elements of smart city, which has attracted the attention of many scholars to identify threats to the community's health. Air pollution has a significant contribution to diseases development such as type 2 diabetes, which is a major component of the global disease burden. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of exposure to air pollutants such as NO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;, PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt;, and PM&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; during 2016 on blood glucose control in Type 2 diabetic patients living in Tehran, capital of Iran. In this study, 124 diabetic patients of type 2 and partial correlation, odds ratio, and one-way Analysis of Variance have been considered to determine the effect of pollutants on the control of blood glucose in the patients. The results of this study verified that a significant positive correlation exists between NO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and blood glucose in women (r&amp;thinsp;=&amp;thinsp;0.43; p-value&amp;thinsp;&amp;lt;&amp;thinsp;0.001). There was also a relatively low but significant correlation in the female group between PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt; and blood glucose have been identified (r&amp;thinsp;=&amp;thinsp;0.27; p-value&amp;thinsp;=&amp;thinsp;0.033). No significant correlation was found between pollutant PM&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; and blood glucose in the patients. It is noteworthy that no correlation was found in the men's group for any of the pollutants.</p>
