Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
For this pilot project, study staff will recruit patients who are initiating long-acting insulin treatment or initiating the titration of their existing long acting insulin treatment at Bellevue Hospital Center's Adult Primary Care Center. Patients who volunteer to enroll and provide informed consent will be randomized to one of two arms (MITI or current best practice arm) at the time of enrollment and stratified by whether the patient is initiating insulin treatment or initiating the titration of his/her existing insulin dose. The study staff will provide a cell phone (for temporary use) to any patients who are randomized to the MITI arm and don't own a personal cell phone (or whose personal cell phone is not able to receive the Sense Health text messages). Patients will use the cell phone free of cost to participate in the intervention (receive Sense Health text messages, send their fasting blood glucose levels, and speak with the diabetes nurse and study staff.)
Patients in the MITI arm will receive automated text messages 5 weekdays per week, for up to 12 weeks, from Sense Health. These text messages will request the patient's fasting blood glucose level. The patient will reply with his/her fasting blood glucose value, which will be logged in password-protected accounts on www.sensehealth.com. The clinic's diabetes nurses will check each patient's fasting blood glucose level on www.sensehealth.com each weekday and call any patient with fasting blood glucose values \< 80 mg/dL and \> 400 mg/dL. Each Thursday, patients will receive a phone call from a nurse, who will adjust the patient's insulin dose according to the study titration protocol. Each patient will continue to receive daily text messages and weekly phone calls until the first of three events occur: the patient reaches his/her optimal insulin dose for achieving glycemic control, 12 weeks elapse, or the patient withdraws from the study.
Patients in the current best practice arm (CBP) will attend scheduled clinic appointments during which a provider will review the patient's fasting blood glucose log and titrate the insulin dose according to current best practice.
Patients in both arms will continue receiving routine care, including HbA1c values every 3 months and other routine labs and measures as per standard of care.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Mobile Insulin Titration Intervention
Mobile Insulin Titration Intervention (MITI) arm patients will relay their fasting blood glucose levels to the study staff via text message. The patient will receive insulin titration instructions through a weekly phone call with a diabetes nurse.
Mobile Insulin Titration Intervention
Patients send their fasting blood glucose levels to the clinic diabetes nurses via text message each weekday. The diabetes nurses call each patient once a week to give insulin titration instructions to replace in-person clinic visits for insulin titration.
Current Best Practice
Current Best Practice (CBP) arm patients will be treated according to the current best practice of insulin titration. They will attend scheduled clinic visits during which the provider will review their blood glucose logs and provide insulin titration instructions.
