Key result
Diabetes Tune-Up intervention cuts diabetes distress scores by ~22% in Black women with T2D.
Why the study?
Black and African American women experience a high burden of type 2 diabetes and diabetes distress, prompting testing of a culturally tailored intervention delivered in-person or via synchronous video call.
Does a culturally-tailored Diabetes Tune-Up Group intervention improve diabetes distress in Black and African American women with T2D?

Supports culturally tailored groups for distress reduction in Black women with T2D; leaves open efficacy, durability, and generalizability in larger trials.
Groot et al. (2026) studied Type 2 diabetes and diabetes distress (n=63). Diabetes Tune-Up Group intervention vs. Waitlist was evaluated on Total Diabetes Distress Scale-17 (DDS-17) (t = -4.94, p=<0.001). The Diabetes Tune-Up Group intervention significantly reduced total diabetes distress scores from a mean of 2.54 to 1.97 (p<0.001) in Black and African American women with type 2 diabetes.
