Comparative effectiveness of a mindful eating intervention to a diabetes self-management intervention among adults with type 2 diabetes: a pilot study.
Mindful eating offers promise as an effective approach for weight management and glycemic control in people with diabetes .  Diabetes self-management education ( DSME ) is an essential component of effective self-care . Yet , little research has compared the effect of mindful eating to DSME-based treatment . This study compared the impact of these two interventions in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus . A prospect i ve r and omized controlled trial with two parallel interventions was used . Participants included adults age 35 to 65 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus for 1 year or more , body mass index ( BMI ) of 27 or more , and hemoglobin A1c ( HbA1c ) of 7 % or more who were r and omly assigned to a 3-month mindful eating ( MB-EAT-D ; n=27 ) or Smart Choices ( SC ) DSME-based ( n=25 ) intervention . Follow-up occurred 3 months after intervention completion . Dietary intake , physical activity , weight , HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose , and fasting insulin were assessed using repeated measures analysis of variance with contrast analysis . There was no significant difference between groups in the change in weight or glycemia at study end . Significant difference occurred between groups in the change in dietary intake/1,000 kcal of trans fats , total fiber , and sugars ( all P<0.05 ) . Mean ( ± st and ard error ) reduction in weight ( -2.92 ± 0.54 kg for SC vs -1.53 ± 0.54 kg for MB-EAT-D ) and HbA1c ( -0.67 ± 0.24 % for SC and -0.83 ± 0.24 % for MB-EAT-D ) were significant ( P<0.01 ) . Significant reduction in energy intake and glycemic load occurred ( all P<0.0001 ) for both groups . Training in mindful eating and diabetes self-management  facilitate improvement in dietary intake , modest weight loss , and glycemic control . The availability of effective treatments gives patients with diabetes choices in meeting their self-care needs
