Study Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators propose an innovative, ED-based mHealth intervention: TExT-MED (Trial to Examine Text-Based mHealth for Emergency department patients with Diabetes). TExT-MED is a technologically simple solution using unidirectional daily text messages to consisting of educational materials, trivia questions and challenges promoting healthy lifestyle choices and reminders to check blood sugar, take medications and go to clinic appointments.
