Brief Summary

Physical activity (PA) can play a vital and an independent role in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) management care. Health research studies have shown evidence that PA can improve glycaemic control and glucose levels. PA is first line of self-care management recommended to patients with T2DM and most patients fail to perform the regular PA. It is always important for health providers to find better methods in encouraging and incentivizing PA in T2DM patients. Mobile phone messaging-based interventions have been shown to strengthen the delivery of health information and self-care management programs.
