Summary

Managing type 1 diabetes is stressful. Stress physiology influences glucose metabolism. Continuous glucose monitors allow us to track glucose variability in the real-world environment. Managing stress and cultivating resiliency should improve diabetes management and reduce glucose variability. The study was designed as a randomized prospective cohort pre-post study with wait time control. Participants were adult type 1 diabetes patients who used a continuous glucose monitor and recruited from an academic endocrinology practice. The intervention was the Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) program conducted over 8 sessions over web-based video conference software. The primary outcome measures were: Glucose variability, the Diabetes Self-Management questionnaire (DSMQ) and the Connor-Davidson Resiliency (CD-RISC) instrument.

BEHAVIORAL

Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) program

The Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) program (bensonhenryinstitute.org) is well validated comprehensive stress management program. It is designed to cultivate both the early recognition of stress in the mind and body, develop skills to mitigate stress and evoke the relaxation response and cultivate resiliency. It is an 8 session program, typically run in a live group setting. In this study's case it was delivered via a videoconferencing platform.
