7. Manage your stress factors
Stress can emerge from everything; family issues, work-related problems, financial loss, or losing a loved one… But the response we have towards stress is what really matters. Managing your stress factors should be a priority when you have diabetes because stress hormones boost the production of cytokines in your body, a major contributor to diabetes.
Plus, most people respond to stress with food, often leading to overeating. Obesity again is a contributing factor. Control your stress as best as you can and if yoga, meditation, listening to music, spending time in nature, or exploring your hobbies don’t work, seek professional help.
