[Purpose] To clarify the difference in the effect (motivation of exercise) obtained by different types of exercise guidance for diabetes patients. [Participants and Methods] The subjects were 50 diabetes patients who attended either a diabetes lecture or diabetes awareness event held at our hospital (lecture, n=35; awareness event, n=15). We conducted a motivational questionnaire (BREQ-2) on exercise and compared the results of before and after the instruction. [Results] Among the lecture participants, the non-autonomous adjustment style improved with intrinsic motivation. Among the awareness event participants, the non-autonomous adjustment style did not improve, while the more autonomous adjustment style improved. [Conclusion] The results suggest that improvement of different motivational adjustment styles for exercise can be obtained through different types of instruction.
