Mindfulness-Based Diabetes Management (MBDM) Course Information
This course looks really interesting... Maybe an answer to the 5000 Physicians' Experiences with Patients with Diabetes...
"What is MBDM?
Mindfulness-Based Diabetes Management (MBDM) is a stress management course designed to meet the unique self-care demands and challenges of living with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Research shows that ongoing stress management is essential to achieve optimal treatment outcomes and maintain quality of life for people living with diabetes. Based on the latest research on stress, the mind/body connection, self-compassion, diabetes burnout, and motivating and sustaining healthy behaviors, the MBDM course teaches concrete skills and techniques for managing stress to live well with diabetes.
These include:
- Secular mindfulness meditation and yoga practices that systematically cultivate and strengthen our innate “mind/body” resources for self-regulation, resilience and healing.
- Specific skills, techniques, attitudes and perspectives that reduce frustration, anxiety, anger, guilt, “diabetes burnout” and depression; while developing self-awareness, self-compassion, motivation, joy, and ease."

There has been a class around for years called "Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction", based on the bookFull Catastrophe Living. I have a feeling that this follows the same idea, only with more focus on db.
I would recommend it, but, it does require a commitment for all the sessions in order to get the most out of it. Not a quick fix, but then, what is?
