Trial to Examine Text-message Based mHealth in Emergency Department Patients With Diabetes (TExT-MED)

June 18, 2013 updated by: Sanjay Arora, University of Southern California
The investigators propose an innovative, ED-based mHealth intervention: TExT-MED (Trial to Examine Text-Based mHealth for Emergency department patients with Diabetes). TExT-MED is a technologically simple solution using unidirectional daily text messages to consisting of educational materials, trivia questions and challenges promoting healthy lifestyle choices and reminders to check blood sugar, take medications and go to clinic appointments. The investigators believe TExT-MED will improve health outcomes including blood glucose control and encourage weight loss, healthy eating and exercise. TExT-MED is low cost, easy to use and can be quickly adapted to other practice environments.
