Method: 120 diabetic patients were randomly selected and formed control, education and short message service (SMS) follow up groups that each contains 40 patients. After giving education to phone call- SMS group, in an attempt to get HbA1c level closer to normal value (<%7), it was planned to give social and cognitive support for 12 weeks. Results: At the end of 12 weeks, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) dropped (1.8%) in intervention, (0.58%) education and (0.59%) in control group. Fasting blood glucose dropped 38 mg/dl in the phone call-SMS group, 36mg/dl in the control group, post prandial glucose dropped in only phone call SMSgroup (52 mg/dl); sistolic pressure dropped both phone call-SMS and education groups. While scores of severity and self efficiency increased in every three groups, scores of support increased only in control group, outcome expectation scores increased both phone call-SMS and education groups. 12 weeks. Scores of positive misguided reinforcing behavior dropped only in phone call-SMS group. A positive relationship was found between severity -support and self efficiacy-outcome expectation scores of the groups. Conclusion: Follow up and management of diabetic patients by nurse via SMS and mobile phone have given successful result on providing social compliance and optimal glycemic control.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAdvanced nursing practicecell phoneeducationglycosylated hemoglobinnurse follow-uppatient adherenceshort message servicetype 2 diabetesArticle3417318310.5455/musbed.20131203074020N/AWOS:000435260200002
