Effects of Personalized DiaBetes TEXT Messaging Combined with Peer Support Education on Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Personalized DB-TEXT + PSE is more effective at enhancing clinical outcomes, reducing fatigue, improving sleep quality, and improving quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes than DB-TEXT alone and PEPs are. Educators can incorporate personalized DB-TEXT + PSE as a component of diabetes education programs and thereby integrate digital interventions and supplementary programs.

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

T2D remission · T1 (3 months) and T2 (6 months)

DB-TEXT + PSE

35.7% (T1); 50% (T2)

DB-TEXT

17.9% (T1); 25% (T2)

PEP

3.7% (T1); 3.7% (T2)

Secondary outcomes

Relative to PEP, DB-TEXT + PSE significantly reduced TC, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) and improved sleep quality and quality of life (QoL) over time
