Personal Parameters: Age, sex, educational level, occupation, mobile phone models, Habit of using mobile phone service\n 2. Disease Parameters: Number and types of comorbidity, disease control (by biochemical markers)\n 3. Quality of Life (by SF-6D)\n* Reported adverse effects of the reminder system\n* Chang in biochemical markers (BMI, HbA1c, LDL-c level) 6-9 months later\n\nSubjects who agreed to participate in this study will first receive a survey on the acceptance of SMS service. For those agree to receive SMS reminder, they will be randomized to:\n\n1. an SMS remind them to come for scheduled clinic appointment 24-72 hours before, or\n2. usual care with no reminder / telephone reminder."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* With diagnosis of type 2 diabetes\n* Have more than 1 clinic services appointment under RAMP-DM programme:\n\n (e.g. blood taking, diabetic nurse individual counselling, group education, diabetic complication screening, retinal photo assessment, dietician counselling, etc)\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
