AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the immediate and long-term effects of a 12 week problem-solving (PS) counseling program to facilitate intensified walking with machinery monitoring on @entity1 with @entity6 in Korea. METHODS: The study used a quasi-experimental design. The @entity1 were 57 @entity1 with @entity6 from three endocrinology or internal medicine clinics in an urban city of South Korea. Moderate-intensity walking and PS counseling were recommended to both groups. The difference between the two groups was whether the intensity of the exercise was monitored by an ambulatory heart rate monitor (experimental group) or was self-regulated (comparison group). Those programs were evaluated in relation to BMI, glycemic control (blood @entity413 level, glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c]), a vascular complication index (total @entity165 , high-density lipoprotein @entity165 , low-density lipoprotein @entity165 , @entity1674 , tissue plasminogen activator [ @entity3479 ], @entity2289 [ @entity2289 ], Parma Cardiovascular Risk Index), and coping strategies at 3 and 6 months. RESULTS: The experimental group members showed dramatic decreases in their @entity413 and HbA1c levels at 3 months. The values of @entity3479 decreased significantly at baseline, compared to at 3 months. The levels of @entity2289 continuously declined and the Parma Cardiovascular Risk Index score did not change significantly from baseline to at 3 months, but showed significant effects at 6 months. CONCLUSION: A combined program of intensified walking, using a heart rate monitor, with PS counseling is more helpful to prevent complications than self-regulated exercise for @entity1 with type 2 @entity6 in Korea.
