Eighty participants will be randomized to the MSC program or be in a wait-list control group. Measures of primary outcome are self-compassion and diabetes- distress. Secondary outcomes are hemoglobin A1C, diabetes self-efficacy, stress and depression symptoms, and sleep quality. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, 12 weeks (end of the program) and 24 weeks (post program).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Diabetes distress
Time Frame: baseline to 24 weeks
Diabetes distress will be evaluated by a questionnaire. Each item is rated on a 6-point Likert scale from 1 (no problem) to 6 (serious problems). Scores range from 17 to 102, which the higher scores indicate the higher diabetes distress levels (A worse outcome).
Self-compassion
Time Frame: baseline to 24 weeks
Self-compassion will be evaluated by a questionnaire. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Scores range from 26 to 130, which the higher scores indicate the higher self-compassion levels (A better outcome). This outcome is reported in the mean difference of self-compassion score between two groups.
Secondary Outcomes
- Stress and depressive symptoms(baseline to 24 weeks)
- Diabetes Self-efficacy(baseline to 24 weeks)
- Hemoglobin A1C(baseline and 12 weeks)
- Sleep quality(baseline to 24 weeks)
