Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This research will additionally include Family Members of patients with diabetes who are involved in their care (cooking, aiding in management, securing/delivering medications, etc.). Family Member Caregivers of participants will be designated/noted by the participants who have diabetes themselves, and they will be included in the study based on their willingness to take part of the study. They will also be sorted into either a control or an intervention group in accordance with which group their relative with diabetes was sorted into, for example, if the patient with diabetes will be designated to be a part of the intervention group, this means that the family member caregiver participant will also be allocated to the intervention group. Our aim is to evaluate their DM related knowledge, personal health practices, their involvement in the care of patients with diabetes, and their impact on the patients' diabetes control before and after the intervention.
One point to note as well is that to ensure equality among groups and for the benefit of the control group participants, the research investigators will be sharing with them the content of the text messages originally shared with the participants of the intervention group by the End of the study.
