ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The shortage of general practitioners (GPs) and the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes create significant pressure on primary healthcare services. To enable that medical services are available to all that need it, innovative solutions are needed. One of those, a Short Message Service (SMS)-supported basal insulin titration service is investigated in this study. The primary objective was to determine the percentage of subjects who achieved stable fasting blood glucose (FBG) within their individual target range with this service after week 16.

Methods
