  Mobile games can be effective,evidence-based,and motivating tools for the promotion of childrens health.Traditional method for diabetic education relies heavily on written materials and there is only a limited amount of resources targeted at educating diabetic children.In our earlier work,we proposed a novel approach for designing computer games aimed for educating children with diabetes.In this paper,we apply our game design to a mobile Android game(Mario Brothers).We also introduce two heuristics that are specifically designed for evaluating the mobile game,by adapting traditional usability heuristics.The results of a preliminary evaluation study,conducted for a week,showed that the children found the game engaging and believed that it would have added educational value.
