Thai studies consistently have found significant
positive effects on transient ischemic attack (TIA)
and minor stroke patients’ physical fitness and
satisfaction in exercise programs that include selfregulation
components.29 In addition, students in
Bangkok have been found to decrease their
consumption of junk food when involved in a selfregulation
dietary program.16 Therefore, the
effectiveness of a self-regulation program on diet
control, exercise and two-hour postprandial blood
glucose levels was tested, in this study, in Thais
with GDM.
