Effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions on physiological and psychological complications in adults with diabetes: a systematic review
Abstract
This systematic review aimed to examine the effectiveness of Mindfulness-based interventions in reducing diabetes-related physiological and psychological symptoms in adults with types 1 and 2 diabetes. Five databases were systematically searched. A total of 11 studies satisfied the inclusion criteria. Mindfulness-based intervention effectiveness for physiological outcomes (glycaemic control and blood pressure) was mixed. Mindfulness-based interventions appear to have psychological benefits reducing depression, anxiety and distress symptoms across several studies. Studies' short-term follow-up periods may not allow sufficient time to observe physiological changes or illustrate Mindfulness-based interventions' potential long-term efficacy. More long-term studies that include a consistent, standardised set of outcome measures are required.

Evidence from systematic reviews indicates that mindfulness meditation in the general population can improve obesity-related eating behaviours and increase physical activity.
“There is evidence from systematic reviews that mindfulness meditation in the general population can improve obesity‐related eating behaviours and increase physical activity (Carriere 2018; Katterman 2014; Noordali 2017; Olson 2015; Rogers 2017; Ruffault 2017) by teaching participants to become more accepting of the physical discomfort of portion control and physical exercise.”

Several systematic reviews on mindfulness-based interventions for type 2 diabetes have been conducted, but since then further randomised controlled trials on this topic have been published.
“Several systematic reviews on MBI for T2D have been conducted (Bogusch 2019; Noordali 2017), but since then further RCTs on this topic have been published.”

Currently, only two systematic reviews on mindfulness-based interventions included cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure, and these were narrative reviews, not meta-analyses.
“Currently, only two systematic reviews on mindfulness‐based interventions. MBIs included cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure (Massey 2019; Noordali 2017) and these were narrative reviews, not meta‐analyses.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
