ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring ways to help women with type 2 diabetes better understand their condition and take charge of their health, especially during their reproductive years. The goal is to improve their knowledge of diabetes and encourage them to engage in self-care activities, which can lead to better health outcomes. The study is currently looking for female participants between the ages of 18 and 44 who speak English or Spanish and have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Participants must not be pregnant, and they should have a private cell phone capable of receiving text messages.

Women who join the study can expect to learn more about managing their diabetes effectively and receive support tailored to their needs. It's important to note that individuals with severe vision, hearing, or cognitive issues that could make it difficult to participate are not eligible for the trial. Overall, this study aims to empower women with diabetes by providing them with the knowledge and tools they need to improve their health before and during pregnancy.
