Diabetes distress is common affecting over one-third of people with type 2 diabetes,
 negatively impacting self-management and outcomes, and disproportionately affecting
 low-income individuals. The proposed project will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial
 comparing remotely delivered Mindfulness-Based Diabetes Education plus remote patient
 monitoring of blood glucose to standard Diabetes Self-Management Education in rural Black
 adults with type 2 diabetes and elevated diabetes distress who receive care within federally
 qualified health centers to assess feasibility and acceptability.
