Diabetes self-management education (DSME) has traditionally contained little content or skill-building directly related to stress management, leaving this critical component of diabetes self-management largely unaddressed in DSME. In the investigators' pilot work, the investigators have developed a brief stress management intervention known as Mind-STRIDE, which contains mindfulness training and home practice and is easily integrated into existing DSME. While the investigators have previously demonstrated the feasibility, patient acceptability, and initial efficacy of Mind-STRIDE, its effects on diabetes-related psychological and physiological patient outcomes remain unknown. There is, therefore, a critical need to determine the efficacy of this targeted mindfulness intervention for improving DRD, diabetes self-efficacy, DSM behaviors, and metabolic control of Veterans with diabetes in order to offer comprehensive, evidence-based DSME that improves Veteran-centric diabetes outcomes.
