SMART-ly Managing Type 1 Diabetes - Modifying Glucose Metabolism With an Online Mind-Body Intervention: A Feasibility and Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Managing type 1 diabetes is stressful. Stress physiology influences glucose metabolism. Continuous glucose monitors allow us to track glucose variability in the real-world environment. Managing stress and cultivating resiliency should improve diabetes management and reduce glucose variability.

Research design and methods

The study was designed as a randomized prospective cohort pre-post study with wait time control. Participants were adult type 1 diabetes patients who used a continuous glucose monitor and recruited from an academic endocrinology practice. The intervention was the Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) program conducted over 8 sessions over web-based video conference software. The main outcome measures were Glucose variability, the Diabet
