NCT01391585

Brief Summary

The investigators are testing whether patients with diabetes can communicate with our health care system through text messaging. The investigators will look at how often they respond to prompts for blood pressures, blood sugars, and step counts. The investigators will also see if they come in for lab tests when prompted by text message. Also, for patients overdue for medication refills, the investigators will ask them why they have not yet called for the refill.
