Abstract
Background: Short Message Service (SMS) can be used to increase knowledge of diabetes patients and improve adherence to recommended therapy. Methodology: The study used a Quasi-Experimental method with a Pretest-Posttest Nonequivalent Control Group design involving 40 Prolanis Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 patients, which were divided into a control group and an intervention group. Data collection used a questionnaire which was analyzed by the Mann Whitney test. Results: The results showed that there were differences in self-management in dietary adherence (p=0.008 <0.05) and medication adherence (p=0.031<0.05) before and after being given a short message reminder to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at the Kabila Health Center. Conclusion: There is an effect of short message service reminders on the self-management of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at Kabila Health Center
