Mobile phones can be used as an efficienttool for improving the healthy lifestyle through health education.AIMS: The aim of the study is to measure the efficacy of behavior change communication usingmobile calls in controlling blood sugar levels, increasing medication adherence, healthy diet, andphysical activity among diabetic patients.SETTINGS AND DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial was conducted in an urban area ofPondicherry between 50 (25 per arm) type 2 diabetes patients.SUBJECTS AND METHODS: All participants were interviewed using a structured questionnaire.Fasting blood glucose (FBG) was measured. Single‑time health education was given to bothgroups. The intervention group received a mobile phone calls reminders thrice weekly for 2 months.Changes in FBG, diet, physical activities, and adherence to medications were assessed after2 months.STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Means and proportions were calculated. Chi‑square test andpaired t‑test were used to calculate the P value.RESULTS: FBG increased significantly in the control group by 25.6 mg/dl (P = 0.03), whereas itwas only 6.5 mg/dl in the intervention group (P = 0.56). Adherence to medications was increasedsignificantly in both interventions (+21%) and control (+19%) groups. Number of fruits intake daysper week (+1, P = 0.01) and fruits serving per day (+0.5, P = 0.00) have increased significantly inthe intervention group. Recreational physical activity was increased in the intervention group butnot statistically significant.CONCLUSION: Our study findings suggest that mobile phone calls might help to improveglycemic control. It also suggests that it could improve the adherence to medications andintake of fruits. In the future, studies with large sample size and longer intervention need to beconducted.
