In summary, the present results suggest that adults with T2DM can modify their dietary intake to achieve weight loss and improve glycemia regardless of whether they receive training in mindful eating or MNT for diabetes self-management. Maintenance of weight loss and optimal glycemia are associated with reductions in the morbidity associated with diabetes. Future research should examine preferences for treatment focus (i.e., MNT only versus mindful eating only versus combined treatment) and whether the magnitude of change is greater when patients select one approach over another. Alternatively, some diabetes patients may prefer to complete a DSME-based program first to learn the fundamentals of MNT and self-management followed by a mindful-eating intervention to facilitate maintenance of change. Eating in response to bodily awareness and hunger cues offers the opportunity to develop self-management skills for weight maintenance. The availability of several effective treatments allows patients greater choice in meeting their self-care needs and enables clinicians to tailor diabetes programs.
