This cross-sectional analysis of the NUGLIC study examined how mindful eating influences dietary intake in adults with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Among 321 participants (median age 61 years, 58.6% female), mindful eating was measured using the MEQ-DM, and dietary intake was assessed with two 24-hour dietary recalls. The study found that hi gher mindful eating scores were associated with lower overall energy and nutrient intake.
