      Physical Activity in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Systematic Review and 
      Meta-analysis.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing 
      worldwide. Physical activity (PA) is an important aspect of self-care and first 
      line management for T2DM. SMS text messaging can be used to support 
      self-management in people with T2DM, but the effectiveness of mobile text 
      message-based interventions in increasing PA is still unclear. OBJECTIVE: This 
      study aims to assess the effectiveness of mobile phone messaging on PA in people 
      with T2DM by summarizing and pooling the findings of previous literature. 
      METHODS: A systematic review was conducted to accomplish this objective. Search 
      sources included 5 bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, 
      Web of Science, and Embase), the search engine Google Scholar (Google Inc), and 
      backward and forward reference list checking of the included studies and relevant 
      reviews. A total of 2 reviewers (MA and AA) independently carried out the study 
      selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and quality of evidence 
      evaluation. The results of the included studies were synthesized narratively and 
      statistically, as appropriate. RESULTS: We included 3.8% (6/151) of the retrieved 
      studies. The results of individual studies were contradictory regarding the 
      effectiveness of mobile text messaging on PA. However, a meta-analysis of the 
      results of 5 studies showed no statistically significant effect (P=.16) of text 
      messages on PA in comparison with no intervention. A meta-analysis of the 
      findings of 2 studies showed a nonsignificant effect (P=.14) of text messages on 
      glycemic control. Of the 541 studies, 2 (0.4%) found a nonsignificant effect of 
      text messages on anthropometric measures (weight and BMI). CONCLUSIONS: We could 
      not draw a definitive conclusion regarding the effectiveness of text messaging on 
      PA, glycemic control, weight, or BMI among patients with T2MD, given the limited 
      number of included studies and their high risk of bias. Therefore, there is a 
      need for more high-quality primary studies. TRIAL REGISTRATION: PROSPERO
