The statistical population of the study consisted of all people with type 2 diabetes in Gorgan Diabetes Association in 2023, and 30 people were selected using the available method and randomly replaced in two experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The research tools were questionnaires of reactivity to stress, adherence to treatment and Wagner's wound criterion. The experimental group received mindfulness therapy in 8 sessions of 60 minutes, but the control group did not receive any psychological intervention until the end of the study.
