N2 - Aim: To evaluate the effects of an intensity display type accelerometer on diabetic patients' physical activity. Methods: This was a two-arm, non-randomized controlled study. Both groups received information about the recommendation of 150 min/week moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). The intervention group used an intensity display type accelerometer to monitor their physical activity intensity for 10 days at baseline and 3 months later. We compared intervention and control groups after 3 and 6 months. Primary outcomes were MVPA and number of steps over 7 days. Secondary outcomes were glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body mass index, and self-management. Results: Of 62 participants, 30 and 32 were included in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Mean age in each group was 59.7 ± 10.8 and 58.8 ± 10.2 years, and mean HbA1c was 6.9 ± 0.9% and 6.9 ± 0.8%, respectively. There were no significant differences between the intervention and control groups at either time point, and no outcomes showed significant changes. In a subgroup analysis by physical activity intensity, MVPA of active individuals in the control group significantly decreased at 6 months from baseline. MVPA and number of steps among inactive individuals in the intervention group significantly increased at 6 months from baseline. Self-management of the intervention group showed a trend toward improvement, but HbA1c and body mass index showed no significant change. Conclusions: Monitoring physical activity intensity led to increased MVPA of inactive patients and maintained MVPA of active patients with diabetes mellitus. This straightforward intervention could be applied in clinical practice.
