Psychological distress also is associated with impaired glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).17–18 Mindfulness-based interventions have been shown to improve A1c in people with diabetes19 and reduce episodes of binge eating in obese individuals.12,20 While mindfulness interventions offer promise as an effective approach for diabetes management, little research has compared the efficacy of DSME to a mindfulness-based approach in adults with T2DM. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a DSME intervention compared to the MB-EAT program adapted for adults with T2DM. It was hypothesized the mindful eating intervention would facilitate greater weight loss than the DSME approach.
