Efficacy of Insulin Titration Driven by SMS in Improving Glycemic Control in People with Type 2 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To evaluate the efficacy of the self-management of insulin titration based on information received by the Short Message Service (SMS).

Methods

A case-control study including 59 subjects in each arm with 16 weeks of follow-up was performed. The inclusion criteria were: (1) Subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) under basal insulin treatment; (2) Suboptimal glycemic control: HbA1c ≥ 7.5% and fasting capillary blood glucose (FCBG) > 140 mg/dL (>3 times per week). Subjects were invited to use an insulin titration service based on SMS feedback aimed at optimizing glycemic control depending on fasting blood glucose levels. Psychological aspects were evaluated in the interventional group by means of validated questionnaires (DDS, HADS and SF-12).
