Can a fitbit and AI texts get sedentary diabetes patients moving?

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes per investigator discretion * No more than 20% of the sample will have A1c \< 7.5% (confirmed by medical record review or an A1c completed within 3 months of the screening visit) * Age ≥18 years and ≤ 80 years * Does not meet ADA guidelines for physical activity (\< 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week defined as any activity where the participant can talk but not sing) * Has a smartphone compatible with a Fitbit Exclusion Criteria: * Completing more than 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity per week defined as activity where you cannot sing (moderate) or can't say more than a few words without gasping for breath (vigorous)(14) * Any medical condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the participant at an unacceptable safety risk, such as untreated malignancy, unstable cardiac disease, unstable or end-stage renal disease, and/or eating disorders. * Current or known history of coronary artery disease that is not stable with medical management, including unstable angina, or angina that prevents moderate exercise despite medical management, or a history of myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary artery bypass grafting within the previous 12- months * Any planned surgery during the study which could be considered major in the opinion of the investigator * Blood disorder or dyscrasia within 3 months before screening, or the use of hydroxyurea, which, in the investigator's opinion, could interfere with the determination of HbA1c * Has taken oral or injectable steroids within the past 8 weeks or plans to take oral or injectable steroids during the study, as they may interfere with the determination of HbA1c. * Planning to move from Colorado within 3 months * Current Pregnancy or planning on pregnancy in the next 3 months * Unable to safely comply with study procedures and reporting requirements (e.g. impairment of vision that impacts ability to see FitBit, impaired memory) * Unable to speak English as this is a small feasibility study that does not have the resources to adapt the intervention for Spanish * Current participation in another diabetes-related clinical trial
