Study Summary

This trial looks at how text messages can help people with diabetes who are homeless manage their condition.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for homeless individuals over 21 with type 2 diabetes, who have a recent HbA1c level of at least 8%, and can communicate in English or Spanish. They must be connected to the shelter-clinics involved in the study and able to read/respond to texts. Those with severe uncontrolled illnesses, current severe substance abuse treatment, recent heart attack or stroke, or women who are pregnant/recently gave birth cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether a strategy using SMS text messages can help manage diabetes better among homeless people. It's a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), meaning participants will be randomly assigned to either receive these special texts (intervention) or standard care without extra texting (attention control).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves sending and receiving text messages as an intervention rather than medication, there are no direct medical side effects associated with it. However, participants may experience stress or frustration if they find managing their condition via texts challenging.
