Abstract

Aims and objectives To determine the effectiveness of an electronic messaging support service for management of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with diabetes. Background Microletter and short message service are widely used, but their health education benefit for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus has not been investigated. Design Convenience sample study with randomised group assignment. Methods Participants completed survey questionnaires, physical and laboratory evaluations between May 2015 and May 2016 and were then randomly assigned to two groups for receipt of a microletter + short message or a phone call (control). Appointment reminders and health information were sent to the intervention patients by microletter + short message. Every three months, intervention patients and control patients were followed up by telephone. After 12 months, changes in cardiovascular risk factors in each group were evaluated and compared. Results There were no statistically significant changes or between‐group differences in daily smoking and drinking. There were statistically significant between‐group differences in glycated haemoglobin (p = .034), postprandial plasma glucose (p = .001), postprandial insulin (p = .005), total cholesterol (p = .038) and low‐density lipoprotein (p
