Aetna has devised a text messaging program to help members who have been diagnosed with diabetes. Participants will receive educational text messages and reminders about diabetes screenings and tests, medications, tips on healthy eating and exercising and general health information over a 3 month period. At the end of that 3 months, participants will be evaluated on how well they follow several best-practice measures of diabetes management. For now, this program is only available to a limited number of members who already receive Aetna benefits, but they expect the service to expand with time and feedback from the initial results. Aetna is one of the nation’s most well-known diversified health care benefits companies
