Bahraini SMS Project to Improve Diabetes Control Levels

The article discusses a project led by Dr. Wiam Hussain, a nutrition and endocrinology consultant from Bahrain, aiming to improve diabetes management using SMS technology. The initiative, which has gained support across Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, focuses on the effectiveness of SMS messages in controlling diabetes. The project involves the continuous monitoring of blood sugar levels, physical activity, and dietary impacts on diabetic patients.


The project’s success relies on the integration of technology, including the use of smart devices, to support patients in managing their condition effectively. The initiative also includes educating a group of patients who will receive ongoing support and advice through their mobile devices. The project aims to provide a scalable solution for better diabetes management across the region.
