Study Overview

Brief Summary

The investigators will examine the influence of increasing motivation on healthy lifestyle and glycemic control in diabetes patients. Participants will be randomized to two groups, the control group gets informational text message and the intervention group gets motivational SMS. The patients get a weekly text message and after 26 weeks the HbA1c and quality of life will be assessed.

Detailed Description

The investigators will examine the influence of increasing motivation on healthy lifestyle and glycemic control in diabetes patients. Participants will provide demographic and clinical information, fill human value questionnaires and quality of life questionnaires and decide on personal lifestyle-improvement goals. They will then be randomized to one of two groups: the control group gets informational text message and the intervention group gets motivational text message. The patients get a weekly text message and after 26 weeks we will check the HbA1c and quality of life. The text message will be personalized by including personal details acquired by a questionnaire. They will provide demographic and clinical information.

In addition, the influence of demographic characters and related DM character on the benefit of the motivational SMS will be assessed.
