Abstract: Behavioral medicine interventions are effective in diabetes treatment, especially in patients with a high level of diabetes-related distress, difficulty in coping, or insufficient blood glucose awareness. Behavioral medicine interventions in the diabetes field encompass a number of different approaches with the goal of improving medical outcomes such as glycemic control as well as psychological outcomes. There is evidence for beneficial effects of recent behavioral medicine treatments in terms of improvement of metabolic control as indicated by decreased glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Furthermore, positive effects were observed regarding diabetes-related self-efficacy, self-management, proactive coping, and the reduction of psychological burdens and symptoms. Poor glycemic control is prevalent in the majority of patients with diabetes and has a strong impact on medical as well as psychological outcomes. Psychological and behavioral variables are of particular interest, as the patients themselves are the most determining factor of treatment success. Consequently, a wide range of behavioral medicine interventions are aimed at improvement in diabetes self-management, coping strategies, blood glucose awareness, and stress reduction.
