About this trial

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week interoception-integrated adapted mindfulness training program for patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who experience impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH). The study aims to determine whether this mindfulness intervention, which includes techniques such as body scanning and mindful eating, can help patients better recognize early physiological signals of low blood sugar compared to routine care. Researchers will measure changes in participants' interoceptive awareness and the severity of their IAH over a 3-month follow-up period. The ultimate goal is to provide a practical psychological approach to improve symptom perception and reduce the risk of severe hypoglycemic events in diabetic patients.
