Lifestyle MIND- Feasibility of Wait-list Control

Lifestyle MIND is implemented twice a week in the group format, including a physical activities class and a health class. The physical activity class lasts for 60 minutes. Participants engage in physical activities modified from the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines for diabetes. The health class lasts for about 2 hours and is delivered by occupational therapy faculty and students with light refreshments that are friendly for people with diabetes. The first hour of the health class involves psychoeducation and skills training for managing SMI and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), including topics such as recognizing signs and symptoms of mental disorders and diabetes, goal setting, dealing with setbacks and resistance to change, celebrating culture and holidays, and establishing healthy habits and routines. The second hour of the health class is to address individual needs, social determinants of health, and any needed homework assistance.
