They were divided<br>into a control group (n1=35) and experimental group (n2=35) using matched pair technique method. The<br>experiment group received the food choice capability promoting program base on the Muslim way. The<br>developed program and research instruments, including the demographic data form, food consumption<br>questionnaire, glucometer and blood glucose record form were validated by 3 experts. The food consumption<br>questionnaire was tested for reliability using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient which yielded the value of 0.86.<br>Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test.<br>The results revealed that after participating in the program, the mean score of food consumption<br>behavior of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group and higher than<br>that at the pre-test (p< .05). The mean score of blood glucose at the post-test was significantly lower<br>than that of the control group and lower than that at the pre-test (p<.05). These findings indicated that the<br>developed program help to promote food consumption behavior modification relevant to disease and way<br>of life and thus reduce the blood glucose level. Therefore, the program can be further implemented for<br>uncontrolled diabetic patients with overweight in order to enhance proper food choice selection ability of<br>patients in the way of Muslim life</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Research in Nursing-Midwifery and Health Sciences }, author={Chaikate, Kuntalee and Buapetch, Aporntip and Jittanoon, Piyanuch and Petchrattachar, Usanee}, year={2018}, month={Jun.}, pages={79–94} }
