Diet patterns have a profound influence on glycemic control for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and craving-related eating is an important obstacle to dietary adherence. A growing body of research suggests that carbohydrate-restricted (CR) diets can improve reduce medication dependence in T2DM. However, limited data speak the effects long-term adherence CR diets. Mindful training has been shown overweight populations but yet be examined as behavioral support This trial examines mechanisms, particularly eating, through which mindful might recommendations will clarify importance focusing optimization interventions.The aim this determine whether providing increases recommendation T2DM.We are randomizing 60 participants receive diet or without (12-week group intervention) following 12 weeks after intervention completion. We hypothesize who (relative those do not) demonstrate greater diet.Our primary outcome change assessed using ecological momentary assessment mobile phone-based platform. Secondary pathway outcomes include changes stress-related impulsivity, control, weight change, adherence, resumption nonadherence.This theory-driven shed light impact mindfulness mechanisms may T2DM.ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03207711; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03207711 (Archived by WebCite at http://www.webcitation.org/73pXscwaU).DERR1-10.2196/11002.
