Can text messages and video classes help control diabetes in underserved communities?
NCT ID NCT05416060
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two digital approaches—live video classes and simple text messages—against traditional in-person classes to help 150 Hispanic/Latino adults with type 2 diabetes better manage their condition. The goal is to see if these digital tools can improve blood sugar control and digital health skills in people facing barriers like low income or limited internet access.
