Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of our study was to assess awareness-raising of medication adherence (MA), physical activity (PA), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and glycated hemoglobin A (HbA1c) values by providing information on diabetes via short message (SMS) technology.

Detailed Description

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

The study investigates T2DM patients who have not had surgery or cardiac event in the last 3 months, between the ages of 40 and 64 years, with T2DM diagnosis between the last 1 and 10 years and oral antidiabetic therapy for at least 1 The study design is a single-blinded randomized, controlled study, and was conducted in the Diabetes Polyclinic of the Istanbul University Medical Faculty Hospital.

Patients randomly assigned to the intervention group, in addition to traditional treatment received three to four informative SMS messages per week during the 6-month period, while the control group was followed in accordance with the traditional treatment schedule.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SMS Group

In addition to traditional treatment received three to four informative SMS messages per week during the 6-month period

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Informative messages

Intervention Type OTHER

In addition to their standard treatments, an informative SMS (text message) on diabetes was sent to the intervention group three to four times a week for six months.

The short messages were in the form of a short sentence for the subject and the predicate. The messages sent have been prepared in such a way that they do not exceed 1 SMS quota and are less than 160 characters on mobile phones.

Control Group

Followed in accordance with the traditional treatment schedule

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
