Brief Summary  

In chronic conditions, Treatment success is highly dependent on the level of adherence among patients. Non-adherence to medication therapy is often associated with poor treatment outcomes, high healthcare costs, poor quality of life, worsening health of the individuals, development of complications, and ultimately death. Generally, patients suffering from chronic conditions are reportedly non-adherents, with only half adhering in developed nations and a far lesser number in the developing world. According to World Health Organization (WHO), the use of mHealth  through phone calls, voice, or short message services (SMS) to promotes treatment  compliance and indirectly reduces drug resistance and help in diseases control/elimination . A recent Family Doctor Program (FDP) survey conducted by the Department of Community Medicine to assess the health services revealed, low utilization of health service rates despite their availability. It was noted that there is a significant lack of knowledge within the community, particularly among individuals with diabetes for both the need for medication adherence and for non pharmacological interventions such as lifestyle modifications.

M-Health technologies  is being widely used in programmes related to RCH and TB .However its use was not well documented in Diabetes management  Hence this study was proposed to try the innovative approach of studying the effectiveness of voice messages through mobile phones in Diabetes management  in rural populations of Andhrapradesh.

The hypothesis is that health education through  Voice messages   will  lead to better   glycemic control
