Living with diabetes can be stressful, and that stress can unfortunately make managing your condition even harder.

Here's why:
Stress Hormones: When you're stressed, your body releases hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones can cause your blood sugar levels to rise.

Unhealthy Habits: Stress can also lead to unhealthy habits like emotional overeating, skipping exercise, or neglecting sleep – all of which can worsen blood sugar control.

So how can you break the cycle? Start by adding these two stress-reduction techniques into your daily routine:

Deep Breathing: Take slow, deep breaths from your diaphragm. This simple technique can quickly activate your body's relaxation response and lower stress levels.

Exercise: Regular physical activity is a great stress reliever. Open-air walking is the very best, but activities like swimming are also great stress relievers.

Remember, even small changes can make a big difference. By incorporating these techniques into your daily routine, you can effectively manage stress and live a healthier life with diabetes.
