Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators conducted a pilot study to determine if telephone counseling, in a health care setting that routinely assesses physical activity of its members, is a feasible approach to improve physical activity among patients with diabetes and prediabetes. The investigators built on an existing innovation at Kaiser Permanente, in which physical activity is assessed at every outpatient visit. The primary aims were to (1) pilot study elements, including database identification of patients; recruitment, training and engagement of health care providers; patient recruitment; data collection procedures; and a 24-week intervention, and (2) to assess feasibility and obtain feedback from key stakeholders on the approach.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •prediabetes or diabetes not prescribed insulin
- •less than 30 min of physical activity per week
- •cleared to increase physical activity by primary care provider

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Feasibility of identifying and recruiting sufficient number of participants into a telephone-based physical activity intervention.
Time Frame: The intervention lasted 24 weeks.
Participants who met eligibility criteria and who were scheduled for an outpatient visit with their primary care provider were invited to participate in the study. Feasibility was assessed by the investigators' ability to recruit 60 participants into the pilot trial.
Secondary Outcomes
- Physical Activity Self-Regulation(Participants completed the survey at baseline and approximately 24 weeks after baseline.)
- Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity(Assessments were made a baseline and approximately 24 weeks after baseline assessments.)
- Motivation for Physical Activity(Participants completed the survey at baseline and approximately 24 weeks after baseline assessments.)
