About this trial
Diabetes distress is common affecting over one-third of people with type 2 diabetes, negatively impacting self-management and outcomes, and disproportionately affecting low-income individuals. The proposed project will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial comparing remotely delivered Mindfulness-Based Diabetes Education plus remote patient monitoring of blood glucose to standard Diabetes Self-Management Education in rural Black adults with type 2 diabetes and elevated diabetes distress who receive care within federally qualified health centers to assess feasibility and acceptability.
