Research has shown that Diabetes Self-care
Management Education (DSME) paired with the Behavioral
Changes Support Program using Mobile Technology
(BCSP-MT) has improved patient outcomes for diabetes
care by promoting self-care activities. It was noted that
many primary practices do not provide BCSP-MT to
improve the quality of diabetes care. The purpose of this
study was to assess the effectiveness of DSME paired with
BCSP-MT in adult type 2 diabetes patients to improve
health disease management knowledge, self-care practices,
and diabetes control. A three months, one-arm, pre-post
pilot study of BCSP-MT was conducted in a clinic in the
Northeastern U.S. A convenient sample of 14 adult type II
diabetes patients with A1C 7.0% or above was recruited.
The intervention consisted of 2 to 3 educational weekly text
messages, 2 face-to-face meetings, and 3 monthly phone
calls between the monthly DSME.
