Mindfulness-based psychological interventions may improve psychological well-being (anxiety, diabetes distress, perceived stress, depression, self-efficacy, quality of life) and biomedical outcomes (glycaemic control, blood glucose levels, diastolic blood pressure) in young people with type 1 diabetes. A systematic review of nine studies, most of moderate or optimal methodological quality, found small sample sizes and only two with short-term follow-up. The evidence is promising but limited, and further research with better methodology and design is needed.
