This study is looking at whether text messages can help people experiencing homelessness better manage their type 2 diabetes. You would receive text messages for 6 months. Some participants will get texts with reminders for medication, appointments, and diabetes self-care, along with education and support. Others will receive texts about general health. The main goal is to see if these texts can improve your HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar control) after 9 months. You might be able to join if you are at least 21 years old, experiencing homelessness, have type 2 diabetes with an HbA1c of 8% or higher, speak English or Spanish, and receive care at one of the study's shelter-clinics. The study aims to enroll 100 people, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
