title: A pilot structured behavioural intervention trial to increase physical activity among women with recent gestational diabetes.
abstract: Forty-three women were recruited into a 1-year randomised controlled trial to test the feasibility of a structured behavioural intervention to increase physical activity after gestational diabetes. Increases in achievement of physical activity targets were not attained. Recruitment and subject retention were identified as major challenges.
