Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if sending three (3) text messages per week over a six (6) months period to people with Type 2 Diabetes in areas with lack access to dietitian could help them stick to a healthier diet. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does a mobile phone text-message intervention improve dietary adherence among T2DM patients?
* Does a mobile phone text-message intervention improve HbA1c and self-management among T2DM patients? Researchers will compare dietary adherence, HbA1c changes and self-management behaviors between the usual care group and intervention group.

Participants will:

* Be given three (3) text messages per week over a six (6) months period for the intervention group
* Both usual care and intervention group will be given standard medical nutrition therapy at baseline, 3rd and 6th months visits to the clinic
