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.
For Aim 2, investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing Mindfulness-Based Diabetes Education to standard Diabetes Self-Management Education in rural, Black adults with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and elevated diabetes distress. Pilot RCT participants will be recruited from Federally Qualified Health Centers in the rural Black Belt region of Alabama. Participants will be recruited through opt-out letters and phone calls to adults with diabetes seen within the preceding two years at study sites, as well as through in-person recruitment during clinic or through…
