The results showed fasting glucose (t=4.286, p=.001) and HbA1c (t=3.978, p=.001) significantly improved after 4 week education. Also, the total scores of exercise self-efficacy significantly increased (t=4.741, p<0.001). Thus, 86.5% of patients moved into an advanced exercise stage. The findings supported the CBEC. It not only had potential specific effects on glucose control, but also had promoted the exercise behavior among sedative diabetes groups.
