Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have greater control over the disease when they acquire some knowledge about it. In this context, the use of technology by health professionals for nutritional guidance and self-care has shown promising results. This study aims to evaluate the impact of these educational approaches via SMS on glycemic control of patients with DM, followed at the Endocrinology Outpatient Clinic of the Antonio Pedro University Hospital (HUAP). Also, the investigators evaluated the satisfaction of these patients with the health service and their self-care. The study included patients diagnosed with DM, respecting the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were randomized into the control group and the intervention group. The patients in the intervention group received weekly SMS for six months, with dietary guidelines and DM care. Both groups answered a questionnaire at the beginning and end of the intervention, which consisted of assessing satisfaction with the health service received and their care for DM. Similarly, the investigators collected their clinical and laboratory data from medical records at the beginning and end of the intervention.
