Mobile health (mHealth) is increasingly being used for managing chronic diseases proving its feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness in improving the health outcomes. However, effectiveness of mHealth intervention for self-management of Type 2 diabetes remains unexplored in the context of Nepal. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a co-designed text based mobile health intervention for self-management of Type 2 diabetes in Nepal. We will conduct a six month, two arm (1:1) parallel group randomised control trial involving 154 adults with Type 2 diabetes. The primary outcome includes change in haemoglobin A1c level at six months follow up. Secondary outcomes include change in self-management outcomes such as self-efficacy, perceived support, diabetes related stress, health related quality of life and self-care activities. Primary and secondary outcomes will be summarized descriptively, and comparisons will be made using chi-square tests for categorical data and independent sample t-tests for continuous data. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06623006).
