ABSTRACT
A total of 296 patients were randomly divided into short message group (n =153) and non short message group (n =143).The former group received short message service (SMS) for follow-ups while the latter group had routine oral follow-ups.The return visit rate,recall rate of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c),HbAlc level and glucose control rate for diabetics were assessed after one-year follow-up.The return visit rate (96%) and recall rate of HbAlc (78%) in the short message group were significantly higher than those in the non-short message group (59%,25%,P <0.01 for both).The HbAlc level after one-year follow-up (6.51 ± 0.74) % was lower than that one year before (6.85 ± 1.26) % in the short message group.The glucose control rate after one year (82%) were significantly higher than that one year before in the short message group (65%) and that after one year in the non-short message group(59%,P < 0.01).Use of SMS platform system for follow-ups and health education can effectively improve the return visit rate and glucose control rate,lower the HbA1c level.in diabetics.
