- Abstract: Mindfulness meditation is effective in stress management and diabetes self-care. This paper provides an overview of mindfulness meditation, the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program, and the mindfulness-based therapy's effectiveness in diabetes self-care. Mindfulness meditation and the mindfulness-based therapy may be a useful intervention in helping diabetic patients improve stress management, emotional regulation, mental health, and overall health. Diabetes educators should have continuous interest in mindfulness meditation and will need to try to apply in diabetes self-care.
