MyDiaText: Texting the Way to Better Diabetes Control
To develop a text messaging intervention using MyDiaText and to determine whether such an
intervention will decrease HbA1c in children 12 to 18 years old. The intervention will
consist of daily text messages sent to the subject's personal mobile device. Previously
developed text messages based on the American Diabetes Association (ADA) behavior goals will
be used for this intervention. These will be adapted with input from the focus groups that
will be carried out with adolescents with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The details of the
intervention, such as frequency and timing of text messages, will be determined from input
obtained from the focus groups.
