Summary
This pilot study tests an 8-week program called DREAM that uses AI-powered text messages to encourage physical activity in adults with type 2 diabetes. Twenty participants will receive twice-weekly messaging and set weekly activity goals. The study focuses on whether the program is feasible and acceptable, not on curing diabetes.
