Study summary

The purpose of this study to investigate the effects of personalized diabetes text messaging (DB-TEXT) combined with PSE in patients with type 2 diabetes. This study is an assessor-blinded, three-arm, parallel randomized controlled trial. Additionally, the investigators will use the CONSORT guidelines to report of trial finding. A diabetes management centers in East Java Province will be recruited for the participants from December 2022 to March 2023. The investigators will include participants who had been diagnosed with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (having HbA1C level of > 7% in the past three months), and who were 17 years or older (the legal age to provide informed consent in Indonesia) and having their own mobile phone. People who could not read or write Indonesian; had medical diagnostic with cognitive impairments, psychiatric disorders, or were diagnosed with cancer before the study will be excluded from the study. The outcomes of the study including demographic and disease characteristic, clinical outcomes, fatigue, sleep quality, depression, and quality of life. For the clinical outcomes, will be measured in laboratory test in diabetes management centers. Fatigue level will be measured using the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (MFI-20), sleep quality will be measured using a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) will be used to measure the depression level, and the Diabetes Quality of Life-Brief Clinical Inventory (The DQoL-BCI) will be used to assess the quality of life.

Background :

Our early component network meta-analysis (CNMA) study showed that short message service (SMS) and peer support education (PSE) are the most effective component of digitally assisted intervention in improving HbA1C level in type 2 diabetes.

Purposes:

The purpose of this study to investigate the effects of personalized diabetes text messaging (DB-TEXT) combined with PSE in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods:

This study is an assessor-blinded, three-arm, parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT). Additionally, the investigators will use the CONSORT guidelines to report of trial finding. A diabetes management centers in East Java Province will be recruited for the participants from December 2022 to March 2023. The investigators will include participants who had been diagnosed with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (having HbA1C level of > 7% in the past three months), and who were 17 years or older (the legal age to provide informed consent in Indonesia) and having their own mobile phone. People who could not read or write Indonesian; had medical diagnostic with cognitive impairments, psychiatric disorders, or were diagnosed with cancer before the study will be excluded from the study.The outcomes of the study including demographic and disease characteristic, clinical outcomes, fatigue, sleep quality, depression, and quality of life. For the clinical outcomes, will be measured in laboratory test in diabetes management centers. Fatigue level will be measured using the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (MFI-20), sleep quality will be measured using a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) will be used to measure the depression level, and the Diabetes Quality of Life-Brief Clinical Inventory (The DQoL-BCI) will be used to assess the quality of life.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Changes in HbA1C level

    HbA1C level of participants will be assessed in the laboratory test in hospital

    Time frame: at baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  2. Changes in fasting blood glucose level

    Fasting blood glucose level of participants will be assessed using glucometer

    Time frame: at baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  3. Changes in Lipids level including total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) , and triglycerides

    The total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides of the participants will assessed in the laboratory test in hospital

    Time frame: at baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  4. Changes in Blood Pressure Level including Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and Diastolic blood pressure (DBP)

    Blood pressure of participants will be measured using sphygmomanometer

    Time frame: at baseline, 3 months, 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Changes in Fatigue

    Fatigue levels of participants will be assessed using a Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (MFI-20). MFI-20 contains 20 items and five subscales, general fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced motivation, reduced activity, and mental fatigue.

    Time frame: At baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  2. Changes in Sleep Quality

    Sleep quality of the participants will be measured using The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). PSQI assesses self-reported sleep quality and sleep disturbance in the preceding month.

    Time frame: At baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  3. Changes in Depression

    The depression levels of participants will be assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II). There are 21 items on the BDI-II that measure subjective depression symptoms over the preceding 2 weeks

    Time frame: At baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  4. Changes in Quality of Life

    Quality of life of the participants will be measured using the Diabetes Quality of Life-Brief Clinical Inventory (The DQoL-BCI). DQoL-BCI contains 15 questions. Using a Likert scale of 5 points, participants can assess their satisfaction with each DQoL-BCI item (1=Very Dissatisfied/All the Time, 2=Moderately Dissatisfied/Sometimes, 3=Neither/Sometimes, and 4=Moderately Satisfied/Very Seldom).

    Time frame: At baseline, 3 months, 6 months
