And in a surprise turnaround, recent work in Colorado looked at a population of adult diabetics, mostly uninsured or on Medicare/Medicaid and found some improvements in care. The study concluded that certain patients may benefit from a cell-phone based text messaging support.

This would be a good tool for a clinic or a CDE. If it was rolled out on a large scale there would be some cost, many people I know would not pay especially diabetic victims on a fixed income.

Many people choose not to test because it's expensive and after a few days it's no longer on their daily priority list..."They choose to forget".

Hi Kara,

First of all, I am amazed at how more people cared about your use of the term blood sugar over blood glucose rather than your initial question...that being said, I believe that Verizon has a service called vtxt, and there are also a few online services - www.ohdontforget.com , www.textreminders.net , and www.toldtwice.com

Hope this helps,
Michael
